Gene information for UPRT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID139596
Official gene symbolUPRT
Full nameuracil phosphoribosyltransferase (FUR1) homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Aliases,DKFZp781E1243,FUR1,MGC23937,UPP,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes uracil phosphoribosyltransferase, which catalyzes the conversion of uracil and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-R-diphosphate to uridine monophosphate (UMP). This reaction is an important part of nucleotide metabolism, specifically the pyrimidine salvage pathway. The enzyme localizes to the nucleus and cytoplasm. The protein is a potential target for rational design of drugs to treat parasitic infections and cancer. [provided by RefSeq]
