Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources
Predicted to have RNA binding activity; cytidine deaminase activity; and deoxycytidine deaminase activity. Involved in several processes, including hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; negative regulation of transposition; and negative regulation of viral genome replication. Localizes to the cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Orthologous to several human genes including APOBEC3B (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3B); APOBEC3D (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3D); and APOBEC3F (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3F).
