adenosine monophosphate deaminase-2 (AMP deaminase isoform L, AMPD2)

Function

• AMP deaminase plays a critical role in energy metabolism
• catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of AMP into IMP
• purine nucleotide cycle

AMP + H2O <--> IMP + NH3

Structure

• homotetramer
• belongs to the adenosine & AMP deaminases family

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=4

Expression

• predominates in smooth muscle, non-muscle tissue, embryonic muscle & undifferentiated myoblasts

More general terms

• adenosine monophosphate [AMP] deaminase
• phosphoprotein
