Pharmacology
Used to replace deficient or inactive adenosine deaminase which leads to severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID). The enzyme is responsible for converting adensoine to inosine. In the absence of adenosine deaminase, the purine substrates adenosine, 2'-deoxyadenosine and their metabolites are actually toxic to lymphocytes thereby leading to diminished immune function.
