Aicda Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including cytidine deaminase activity; identical protein binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA cytosine deamination; cytidine deamination; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; defense response to bacterium; and isotype switching. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in P-body and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hyperimmunoglobulin syndrome and immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM type 2. Orthologous to human AICDA (activation induced cytidine deaminase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Aicda often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
