InterPro domain: IPR006263

General Information

  • Identifier IPR006263
  • Description Cytidine deaminase, homodimeric

Abstract

This family represents the homodimeric form of cytidine deaminase, a zinc metalloprotein found in Escherichia coli [ 1 ] and in Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress). A related, homotetrameric form with a much smaller subunit is found most bacteria and in animals, IPR006262 . Both types may act on deoxycytidine as well as cytidine.
