Function | Single-stranded DNA-specific cytidine deaminase. Involved in somatic hypermutation (SHM), gene conversion, and class-switch recombination (CSR) in B-lymphocytes by deaminating C to U during transcription of Ig-variable (V) and Ig-switch (S) region DNA. Required for several crucial steps of B-cell terminal differentiation necessary for efficient antibody responses (PubMed:18722174, PubMed:21385873, PubMed:21518874, PubMed:27716525). May also play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression by participating in DNA demethylation (PubMed:21496894). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytosol Note=Predominantly cytosolic (PubMed:21385873). In the presence of MCM3AP/GANP, relocalizes to the nucleus (By similarity) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9WVE0, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21385873} |
Tissue Location | Strongly expressed in lymph nodes and tonsils. |
Volume | 100 µl |
