UPP1 uridine phosphorylase 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 7378)

Symbol: UPP1

Full name: uridine phosphorylase 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: UDRPASE; UP; UPASE; UPP

Summary: This gene encodes a uridine phosphorylase, an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of uridine (or 2'- deoxyuridine) to uracil and ribose-1-phosphate (or deoxyribose-1-phosphate). The encoded enzyme functions in the degradation and salvage of pyrimidine ribonucleosides. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
