A1CF (APOBEC1 complementation factor) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
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.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.50 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.77, genetic association 0.58, somatic mutation 0.50).
In plain words · A1CF (APOBEC1 complementation factor) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
