Description
The enzyme exclusively catalyses deamination of cytosine in single-stranded DNA. It preferentially deaminates five-nucleotide bubbles. The optimal target consists of a single-stranded NWRCN motif (W = A or T, R = A or G). The enzyme initiates antibody diversification processes by deaminating immunoglobulin sequences.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage

Synonyms
AID; activation-induced deaminase; AICDA (gene name); activation-induced cytidine deaminase
Reaction
cytosine in single-stranded DNA + H2O = uracil in single-stranded DNA + NH3
