Function

Adenosine deaminase that may contribute to the degradation of extracellular adenosine, a signaling molecule that controls a variety of cellular responses. Requires elevated adenosine levels for optimal enzyme activity. Binds to cell surfaces via proteoglycans and may play a role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, independently of its enzyme activity. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20147294, ECO:0000269PubMed:20453107}.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted {ECO:0000269PubMed:15926889, ECO:0000269PubMed:20147294, ECO:0000269PubMed:20453107}.

Disease Associations

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) [MIM:615688]: A systemic necrotizing vasculitis that affects medium and small arteries. The ensuing tissue ischemia can affect any organ, including the skin, musculoskeletal system, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and the cardiovascular and nervous systems. Organ involvement and disease severity are highly variable. Clinical features include recurrent ischemic stroke affecting the small vessels of the brain and resulting in neurologic dysfunction, recurrent fever, myalgias, livedoid rash, gastrointestinal pain and hepatosplenomegaly. {ECO:0000269PubMed:24552284, ECO:0000269PubMed:24552285}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Detected in blood plasma (at protein level). Widely expressed, with most abundant expression in human adult heart, lung, lymphoblasts, and placenta as well as fetal lung, liver, and kidney. In embryo, expressed in the outflow tract and atrium of the developing heart, the VII/VIII cranial nerve ganglion, and the notochord. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15926889}.
