PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.17.99.4
Accepted Name
uracil/thymine dehydrogenase
Alternative Name(s)
uracil dehydrogenase
uracil oxidase
uracil-thymine oxidase
Reaction catalysed
  • uracil + A + H2O = barbiturate + AH2 + H(+)
  • thymine + A + H2O = 5-methylbarbiturate + AH2 + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Forms part of the oxidative pyrimidine-degrading pathway in some microorganisms, along with EC 3.5.2.1 and EC 3.5.1.95.
  • Mammals, plants and other microorganisms utilize the reductive pathway, comprising EC 1.3.1.1 or EC 1.3.1.2, EC 3.5.2.2 and EC 3.5.1.6, with the ultimate degradation products being an L-amino acid, NH3 and CO2.
  • Formerly EC 1.1.99.19 and EC 1.2.99.1.
