Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity. Involved in cytidine to uridine editing and positive regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island demethylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lipoprotein transport; mRNA stabilization; and negative regulation of triglyceride metabolic process. Predicted to be part of apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in early conceptus; genitourinary system; and liver. Orthologous to human APOBEC1 (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 1).
