Abstract excerpt
The recycling activity of cytidine deaminase (CDA) within the pyrimidine salvage pathway is essential to DNA and RNA synthesis. As such, CDA deficiency can lead to replicative stress, notably in Bloom syndrome. Alternatively, CDA also can deaminate cytidine and deoxycytidine analog-based therapies, such as gemcitabine. Thus, CDA overexpression is often associated with lower systemic, chemotherapy-related, adverse...
