Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein (apo-) B mRNA editing is the deamination of cytidine that creates a new termination codon and produces a truncated version of apo-B (apo-B48). The cytidine deaminase catalytic subunit [apo-B mRNA-editing enzyme catalytic polypeptide 1 (APOBEC-1)] of the multiprotein editing complex has been identified. We generated transgenic rabbits and mice expressing rabbit APOBEC-1 in their livers to determine...
