Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Probable DNA dC->dU-editing enzyme APOBEC-3A
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Phorbolin-1
Gene Name APOBEC3A
Protein Type Metal Binding
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Single-stranded DNA cytidine deaminase involved in foreign DNA clearance. May trigger C-to-U hypermutation in exogenous DNA leading to its degradation. Provides cellular innate resistance to a specific panel of genetic invaders including endogenous retroelements and a subset of viruses. May have a preference for cytidines in a C-C sequence context. May also play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression through the process of active DNA demethylation.
