UPRT

SYNONYMS
Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase homolog, Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (FUR1) homolog (S.cerevisiae), FUR1, Uracil Phosphoribosyltransferase, RP11-311P8.3, UPP, UPRT, UPRTase, UMP pyrophosphorylase, uprt.

INTRODUCTION
UPRT is a uracil phosphoribosyltransferase, that catalyzes the alteration of uracil and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-R-diphosphate to uridine monophosphate (UMP). This reaction is a significant part of nucleotide metabolism, specifically the pyrimidine salvage pathway. UPRT is restricted to the nucleus and cytoplasm and is a possible target for rational design of drugs to cure cancer and parasitic infections.

DESCRIPTION
UPRT Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 332 amino acids (1-309 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 36.2kDa.
UPRT is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
