DESCRIPTION

Also known as ADAL_ARATH, MAPDA, ADAL. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the free cytosolic methylated adenosine nucleotide N(6)-methyl-AMP (N6-mAMP) to produce inositol monophosphate (IMP) and methylamine (PubMed:29884623, PubMed:30721978, PubMed:31318636). Is required for the catabolism of cytosolic N6-mAMP, which is derived from the degradation of mRNA containing N6-methylated adenine (m6A) (PubMed:29884623). Does not possess deaminase activity toward adenosine, AMP, N6-methyladenosine, or N6-mATP in vitro (PubMed:29884623). Monomer.
