MeSH definition : An APOBEC deaminase that functions as an inhibitor of RETROVIRIDAE replication and
inhibits the mobility of RETROTRANSPOSONS via deaminase-dependent and independent
mechanisms. It is selective for SINGLE-STRANDED DNA and does not deaminate double-stranded
DNA or single or DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA. It exhibits potent antiviral activity against
VIF PROTEIN deficient HIV-1 through the creation of hypermutations in the VIRAL DNA.
It also has anti-viral activity against SIMIAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUSES and HEPATITIS
B VIRUS.;
