Function
Single-stranded DNA-specific cytidine deaminase. Involved in somatic hypermutation (SHM), gene conversion, and class-switch recombination (CSR) in B-lymphocytes by deaminating C to U during transcription of Ig-variable (V) and Ig-switch (S) region DNA. Required for several crucial steps of B-cell terminal differentiation necessary for efficient antibody responses.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in germinal center B-cells (at protein level)
