Description
The apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme complex catalyses the editing of apolipoprotein B mRNA at cytidine6666 to uridine, thereby transforming the codon for glutamine-2153 to a termination codon. Editing results in translation of a truncated apolipoprotein B isoform (apoB-48) with distinct functions in lipid transport. The catalytic component (APOBEC-1) contains zinc at the active site.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
