Gene:
apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme, catalytic polypeptide 1
Gene ID:
208771
Symbol:
APOBEC1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the cytidine deaminase enzyme family. The encoded protein forms a multiple-protein editing holoenzyme with APOBEC1 complementation factor (ACF) and APOBEC1 stimulating protein (ASP). This holoenzyme is involved in the editing of C-to-U nucleotide bases in apolipoprotein B and neurofibromatosis-1 mRNAs. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different proteins have been found for this gene.
