RED1 also known as ADARB1 is a protein involved in RNA editing. It weighs approximately 73 kDa. RED1 mainly expresses itself in the central nervous system but also appears in other tissues. This protein modifies RNA molecules by catalyzing the conversion of adenosine to inosine which can alter the coding potential and metabolism of the RNA it acts upon.
Biological function summary
The protein RED1 functions within RNA editing complexes. It co-operates with other proteins like ADAR1 to carry out its editing role. In particular RED1 affects the regulation of gene expression influencing neuronal function and development in the brain. Through its editing capabilities the protein contributes to the diversity and stability of RNA transcripts.
Pathways
RED1 plays a role in neurotransmission and neurodevelopment pathways. It interacts with other editing proteins in the ADAR family to ensure proper RNA sequence modifications critical for brain function. The editing process that RED1 participates in impacts synaptic transmission important for neuronal communication and neural network formation.
The protein RED1 is associated with neurological disorders. Changes in RED1 expression or mutations can link to conditions such as epilepsy and schizophrenia. Aberrations in RNA editing performed by RED1 might lead to the dysfunction of proteins involved in neuronal signaling. It also connects with proteins like ADAR2 influencing the pathological progress of these conditions.
