Epigenetic Function of Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase and Its Link to Lymphomagenesis
18 Dec 2014
Abstract excerpt
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is essential for somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination of immunoglobulin (Ig) genes during B cell maturation and immune response. Expression of AID is tightly regulated due to its mutagenic and recombinogenic potential, which is known to target not only Ig genes, but also non-Ig genes, contributing to lymphomagenesis. In recent years, a new epigenetic...
