Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including cytidine deaminase activity; identical protein binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of viral genome replication and retrotransposon silencing. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; regulation of defense response to virus; and regulation of viral life cycle. Located in 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).
