Enables RNA binding activity; cytidine deaminase activity; and deoxycytidine deaminase activity. Involved in RNA modification; embryo development; and pyrimidine nucleoside metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma and stomach cancer. Is an ortholog of human CDA (cytidine deaminase).

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
