UCK2 - uridine-cytidine kinase 2 Gene
Also Known as UK; UMPK; TSA903
Species: Homo sapiens
About UCK2
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 261 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in colon (RPKM 6.8), small intestine (RPKM 6.1) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a pyrimidine ribonucleoside kinase. The encoded protein (EC 2.7.1.48) catalyzes phosphorylation of uridine and cytidine to uridine monophosphate (UMP) and cytidine monophosphate (CMP), respectively.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
