DESCRIPTION

Also known as A1CF_HUMAN, A1CF, ACF, ASP. Essential component of the apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme complex which is responsible for the postranscriptional editing of a CAA codon for Gln to a UAA codon for stop in APOB mRNA. Binds to APOB mRNA and is probably responsible for docking the catalytic subunit, APOBEC1, to the mRNA to allow it to deaminate its target cytosine. The complex also protects the edited APOB mRNA from nonsense-mediated decay. Part of the apolipoprotein B mRNA editing complex with APOBEC1. Interacts with TNPO2; TNPO2 may be responsible for transport of A1CF into the nucleus. Interacts with SYNCRIP. Interacts with CELF2/CUGBP2 (By similarity).
