ID:CDD_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Cytidine deaminase; EC=3.5.4.5; AltName: Full=Cytidine aminohydrolase; FUNCTION: This enzyme scavenge exogenous and endogenous cytidine and 2'-deoxycytidine for UMP synthesis. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cytidine + H(2)O = uridine + NH(3). COFACTOR: Zinc. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in granulocytes while expression is very low in fibroblasts, chondrocytes, monocytes, and T- as well as B-cell lines. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.
Pfam Domains: PF00383 - Cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase zinc-binding region PF08211 - Cytidine and deoxycytidylate deaminase zinc-binding region

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
