MeSH definition : A family of conserved cytidine deaminases that catalyze the DEAMINATION of CYTIDINE
to URIDINE. They are characterized by N and C-terminal zinc-dependent catalytic domains
and have important functions in RNA EDITING; EPIGENTIC PROCESSES; and the INNATE IMMUNE
RESPONSE against viruses.;
MeSH synonym : Deaminases, APOBEC; APOBEC Family Proteins; APOBEC Enzymes; Apolipoprotein B mRNA Editing Enzyme, Catalytic Polypeptides; AID-APOBEC Deaminases; AID APOBEC Deaminases; Deaminases, AID-APOBEC;
