Other Names | C->U-editing enzyme APOBEC-1, 354-, Apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing enzyme 1, HEPR, APOBEC1 |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP1352a was selected from the N-term region of human Apobec1. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | APOBEC1 (HGNC:604) |
---|---|
Function | Cytidine deaminase catalyzing the cytidine to uridine postranscriptional editing of a variety of mRNAs (PubMed:30844405). Form complexes with cofactors that confer differential editing activity and selectivity. Responsible for the postranscriptional editing of a CAA codon for Gln to a UAA codon for stop in the apolipoprotein B mRNA (PubMed:24916387). Also involved in CGA (Arg) to UGA (Stop) editing in the NF1 mRNA (PubMed:11727199). May also play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression by participating in DNA demethylation (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Nucleus |
Tissue Location | Expressed exclusively in the small intestine. |

Background
APOBEC1 is involved in the production of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-48 from apoB-100. The gene spans 18 kb and contains five exons, all of which are translated. Alternative splicing produces a variant transcript that lacks exon 2 and encodes a novel 36-amino acid peptide. The exon 2-skipped transcript accounts for approximately 50% of APOBEC1 mRNA in the adult small intestine and up to 90% of APOBEC1 mRNA in the developing gut. Exon 2-skipping may thus be a quantitatively important mechanism for regulating the expression of this gene in the gastrointestinal tract.
