Apobec1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including cytidine deaminase activity; enzyme activator activity; and ribonucleoprotein complex binding activity. Involved in several processes, including DNA cytosine deamination; RNA modification; and positive regulation of mRNA modification. Predicted to be part of apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Used to study familial hyperlipidemia and liver benign neoplasm. Biomarker of colon cancer and obesity. Orthologous to human APOBEC1 (apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 1). [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 rat Apobec1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
