Functional Family Probable C->U-editing enzyme APOBEC-2

Enzyme Information

3.5.4.36
mRNA(cytosine(6666)) deaminase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9WV35
Cytosine(6666) in apolipoprotein B mRNA + H(2)O = uracil(6666) in apolipoprotein B mRNA + NH(3).
-!- The apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme complex catalyzes the editing of apolipoprotein B mRNA at cytidine(6666) to uridine, thereby transforming the codon for glutamine-2153 to a termination codon. -!- Editing results in translation of a truncated apolipoprotein B isoform (apoB-48) with distinct functions in lipid transport. -!- The catalytic component (APOBEC-1) contains zinc at the active site.
