Uridine phosphorylase

Uridine phosphorylase

In enzymology, an uridine phosphorylase (EC number|2.4.2.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:uridine + phosphate ightleftharpoons uracil + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are uridine and phosphate, whereas its two products are uracil and alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the pentosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is uridine:phosphate alpha-D-ribosyltransferase. Other names in common use include pyrimidine phosphorylase, UrdPase, UPH, and UPase. This enzyme participates in pyrimidine metabolism.
