Gene information for CDA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID978
Official gene symbolCDA
Full namecytidine deaminase
Aliases,CDD,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme involved in pyrimidine salvaging. The encoded protein forms a homotetramer that catalyzes the irreversible hydrolytic deamination of cytidine and deoxycytidine to uridine and deoxyuridine, respectively. It is one of several deaminases responsible for maintaining the cellular pyrimidine pool. Mutations in this gene are associated with decreased sensitivity to the cytosine nucleoside analogue cytosine arabinoside used in the treatment of certain childhood leukemias. [provided by RefSeq]
