Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Activation-induced cytidine deaminase
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Cytidine aminohydrolase
Gene Name AICDA
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Single-stranded DNA-specific cytidine deaminase. Involved in somatic hypermutation, gene conversion, and class-switch recombination in B-lymphocytes. Required for several crucial steps of B-cell terminal differentiation necessary for efficient antibody responses. May also play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression by participating in DNA demethylation.
