Apobec3 - apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3

Predicted to enable RNA binding activity; cytidine deaminase activity; and deoxycytidine deaminase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of single stranded viral RNA replication via double stranded DNA intermediate; negative regulation of transposition; and nucleic acid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; regulation of defense response to virus; and regulation of viral life cycle. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in P-body and nucleus. Orthologous to several human genes including APOBEC3D (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3D) and APOBEC3F (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3F).
