Source: NCBI Gene (ID 7371)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 7371)
Symbol: UCK2
Full name: uridine-cytidine kinase 2
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: TSA903; UK; UMPK
Summary: This gene encodes a pyrimidine ribonucleoside kinase. The encoded protein (EC 2.7.1.48) catalyzes phosphorylation of uridine and cytidine to uridine monophosphate (UMP) and cytidine monophosphate (CMP), respectively.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
