Comments
Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=Q9BZX2-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q9BZX2-2; Sequence=VSP_014262;
Catalytic ActivityATP + cytidine = ADP + CMP.
Catalytic ActivityATP + uridine = ADP + UMP.
FunctionPhosphorylates uridine and cytidine to uridine monophosphate and cytidine monophosphate. Does not phosphorylate deoxyribonucleosides or purine ribonucleosides. Can use ATP or GTP as a phosphate donor. Can also phosphorylate cytidine and uridine nucleoside analogs such as 6-azauridine, 5-fluorouridine, 4- thiouridine, 5-bromouridine, N(4)-acetylcytidine, N(4)- benzoylcytidine, 5-fluorocytidine, 2-thiocytidine, 5- methylcytidine, and N(4)-anisoylcytidine.
PathwayPyrimidine metabolism; CTP biosynthesis via salvage pathway; CTP from cytidine: step 1/3.
PathwayPyrimidine metabolism; UMP biosynthesis via salvage pathway; UMP from uridine: step 1/1.
SimilarityBelongs to the uridine kinase family. {ECO:0000305}.
SubunitHomotetramer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15130468, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15735337}.
Tissue SpecificityAccording to PubMed:8812458; testis-specific. According to PubMed:11306702, placenta-specific. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8812458}.
