APOBEC3D, Probable DNA dC->dU-editing enzyme APOBEC-3D, APOBEC3F, DNA dC->dU-editing enzyme APOBEC-3F, Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide-like 3F
This gene is a member of the cytidine deaminase gene family. It is one of a group of related genes 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 and inhibit retroviruses, such as HIV, by deaminating cytosine residues in nascent retroviral cDNA. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],cofactor:Zinc.,function:Unknown. Unable to reduce HIV-1 infectivity in vitro.,miscellaneous:It is one of seven related genes or pseudogenes found in a cluster, thought to result from gene duplication, on chromosome 22.,similarity:Belongs to the cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase family.,
