Identification
Name:Uridine phosphorylase
Synonyms:
  • UPase
  • UrdPase
Gene Name:udp
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
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
Cellular Location:Cytoplasm
