Background
UPRT is a cytoplasmic enzyme which belongs to the UPRTase family. UPRT is highly expressed in leukocytes, liver, spleen and thymus, with lower expression in brain, lung and skeletal muscle. UPRTcatalyzes the conversion of uracil and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-R-diphosphate to uridine monophosphate (UMP). This reaction is an important part of nucleotide metabolism, specifically the pyrimidine salvage pathway. UPRT is a potential target for rational design of drugs to treat parasitic infections and cancer
