|
| Function |
Probable C to U editing enzyme whose physiological substrate is not yet known. Does not display detectable apoB mRNA editing. Has a low intrinsic cytidine deaminase activity. May play a role in the epigenetic regulation of gene expression through the process of active DNA demethylation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21496894}.

| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed exclusively in heart and skeletal muscle.
