Cda Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables cytidine deaminase activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in UMP salvage. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CDA (cytidine deaminase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cda often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
