Reactions

General function:

Involved in transferase activity, transferring pentosyl groups

Specific function:

Catalyzes the reversible phosphorylytic cleavage of uridine and deoxyuridine to uracil and ribose- or deoxyribose-1- phosphate. The produced molecules are then utilized as carbon and energy sources or in the rescue of pyrimidine bases for nucleotide synthesis

Gene Name:

udp

Uniprot ID:

P12758

Molecular weight:

27159

Reactions

General function:

Involved in purine-nucleoside phosphorylase activity

Specific function:

The nucleoside phosphorylases catalyze the phosphorolytic breakdown of the N-glycosidic bond in the nucleoside molecule, with the formation of the corresponding free bases and pentose-1-phosphate. This protein can degrade all purine nucleosides except adenosine and deoxyadenosine
