Double-stranded RNA-specific adenosine deaminase

The ADAR gene specifically deaminates adenosine to inosine in double stranded (dsRNA). This step destabilizes the RNA helix and renders it susceptible to further modification such as editing and degradation, so this process play a role in post-transcriptional RNA editing and RNA virus infections.
