General annotation (Comments)

Function

DNA cytidine deaminase which may provide cellular innate resistance to a specific panel of genetic invaders including endogenous retroelements and a subset of viruses. Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.10

Catalytic activity

Cytidine + H2O = uridine + NH3.

Cofactor

Zinc By similarity.

Subcellular location

Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note: Mostly nuclear.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in lymphoid organs. Also detected in non-lymphoid tissues including lung, testis, ovary, fetal liver and skin. Ref.5 Ref.9

Polymorphism

There are at least 4 different haplotypes in the human population. The allele A3H-var/haplotype 2 encodes a more stable protein which is able to block HIV-1 replication. The displayed allele (haplotype 1) is unstable and inefficient to block HIV-1 replication.

Miscellaneous

APOBEC3H from old world monkeys has retained its antiviral activity, while it is lost in other primates.

It is one of seven related genes or pseudogenes found in a cluster, thought to result from gene duplication, on chromosome 22.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase family.

Ontologies

Alternative products

This entry describes 3 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: Q6NTF7-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
Isoform 2 (identifier: Q6NTF7-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     182-200: IPGVRAQGRYMDILCDAEV → S
Isoform 3 (identifier: Q6NTF7-3)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     182-200: IPGVRAQGRYMDILCDAEV → QS
