MeSH Heading: DCMP Deaminase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.151.653.200
Unique ID: D003844
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003844
Scope Note: An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic deamination of deoxycytidylic acid to deoxyuridylic acid and ammonia. It plays an important role in the regulation of the pool of deoxynucleotides in higher organisms. The enzyme also acts on some 5-substituted deoxycytidylic acids. EC 3.5.4.12.
Entry Term(s): Deoxycytidine Monophosphate Deaminase; Deoxycytidylate Aminohydrolase; Deoxycytidylate Deaminase
Registry Numbers: EC 3.5.4.12
