About UPB1

Cytogenetic location: 22q11.23 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 22:24,495,332-24,528,390 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 34.8) and kidney (RPKM 13.3).

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the CN hydrolase family. Beta-ureidopropionase catalyzes the last step in the pyrimidine degradation pathway. The pyrimidine Bases uracil and thymine are degraded via the consecutive action of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DHPDH), dihydropyrimidinase (DHP) and beta-ureidopropionase (UP) to beta-alanine and beta-aminoisobutyric acid, respectively. UP deficiencies are associated with N-carbamyl-beta-amino aciduria and may lead to abnormalities in neurological activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
