|
| Function |
Lacks editing activity. It prevents the binding of other ADAR enzymes to targets in vitro, and decreases the efficiency of these enzymes. Capable of binding to dsRNA but also to ssRNA.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Brain specific. Expressed at higher levels in astrocytomas as compared to the normal brain tissue. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10836796, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18178553}.
