EC 2.7.1.48 Details
EC number
2.7.1.48
Accepted name
uridine/cytidine kinase
Reaction
(1) ATP + uridine = ADP + UMP;;(2) ATP + cytidine = ADP + CMP
Other name(s)
UCK (gene name), URK1 (gene name), pyrimidine ribonucleoside kinase, uridine-cytidine kinase, uridine kinase (phosphorylating), uridine phosphokinase, ATP:uridine 5′-phosphotransferase, uridine kinase
Systematic name
ATP:uridine/cytidine 5′-phosphotransferase
CAS registry number
9026-39-5
Comment
The enzyme, found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, phosphorylates both uridine and cytidine to their monophosphate forms. The enzyme from Escherichia coli prefers GTP to ATP. The human enzyme also catalyses the phosphorylation of several cytotoxic ribonucleoside analogs. cf. EC 2.7.1.213, cytidine kinase.
