Synthetic peptide corresponding to C-DEHSQDLSGRLR, from human APOBEC3G, at C-terminal (NP_068594.1).
CEM15 is a member of the cytidine deaminase family. It is the product of 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. It is thought that the proteins may be RNA editing enzymes and have roles in growth or cell cycle control. CEM15 has been found to be a specific inhibitor of human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infectivity. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
