Adenine deaminase
（重定向自Adenase）
In enzymology, an adenine deaminase (EC3.5.4.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are adenine and H2O, whereas its two products are hypoxanthine and NH3.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is adenine aminohydrolase. Other names in common use include adenase, adenine aminase, and ADase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
