malfunction | overexpression of uridine-cytidine kinase 2 correlates with breast cancer progression and poor prognosis. UCK2, along with other genes involved in the 5-FU anabolic pathway, produces a phenotype of cell sensitivity to 5-FU folxadlowing knockdown | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | uridine-cytidine kinase (UCK) 2 is a rate-limiting enzyme involved in the salvage pathway of pyrimidine-nucleotide biosynxadthesis. Isozyme UCK2 is overexpressed in many types of cancer and may play a crucial role in activating antitumor prodrugs in human cancer cells. The isozyme catalyzes the phosphorylation of urixaddine and cytidine to form uridine monophosphate (UMP) and cytidine monophosphate (CMP) with efficiency 15 to 20fold higher than that of ubiquitously expressed isozyme UCK1 | Homo sapiens |
