IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 3.5.4.5

Names

Accepted name:
cytidine deaminase
Other names:
cytosine nucleoside deaminase
cytidine aminohydrolase
(deoxy)cytidine deaminase
cdd (gene name)
CDA (gene name)
Systematic name:
cytidine/2'-deoxycytidine aminohydrolase

Reactions

Cofactor

Comments:

Contains zinc. Catalyses the deamination of cytidine and 2'-deoxycytidine with similar efficiencies. The enzyme, which is widely distributed among organisms, is involved in salvage of both exogenous and endogenous cytidine and 2'-deoxycytidine for UMP synthesis.
