NCIt definition : Uridine 5'-monophosphate synthase (480 aa, 52 kDa) is encoded by the human UMPS gene.
This protein plays a role in the two step conversion of orotate to uridine monophosphate.;
NCIt note : Uridine 5'-monophosphate synthase exhibits two types of enzymatic activity: orotate
phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRT; EC 2.4.2.10) and orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase
(ODC; EC 4.1.1.23). (UniProt);
