DNA dC->dU-editing enzyme APOBEC-3A, A3A, 354-, Phorbolin-1, APOBEC3A
Product description
This gene is a member of the cytidine deaminase gene
family. It is one of seven related genes or pseudogenes found in a
cluster, thought to result from gene duplication, on chromosome 22.
Members of the cluster encode proteins that are structurally and
functionally related to the C to U RNA-editing cytidine deaminase
APOBEC1. The protein encoded by this gene lacks the zinc binding
activity of other family members. The protein plays a role in
immunity, by restricting transmission of foreign DNA such as
viruses. One mechanism of foreign DNA restriction is deamination of
foreign double-stranded DNA cytidines to uridines, which leads to
DNA degradation. However, other mechanisms are also thought to be
involved, as anti-viral effect is not dependent on deaminase
activity. One allele of this gene results from the deletion of
approximately 29.5 kb of sequence between this gene, APOBEC3A, and
the adjacent gene APOBEC3B. The breakpoints of the deletion are
within the two genes, so the deletion allele is predicted to have
the promoter and coding region of APOBEC3A, but the 3' UTR of
APOBEC3B.1) Thielen, B.K., et al. J. Biol. Chem. 285(36):27753-27766(2010)
