| Type: | Family | Name: | Uridine-cytidine kinase-like 1 |
| Description: | Uridine-cytidine kinase-like 1 (UCKL1) is a novel uridine kinase/uracil phosphoribosyltransferase that is part of the ribonucleotide salvage pathway. Virus encoded protein EBNA-3 binds to UCKL1, a strategy that the Epstein-Barr virus may use to accumulate UTP in the nucleus, where it is needed for blast transformation and proliferation []. UCKL1 may also play a role in tumour cell survival []. | Short Name: | UCKL1 |
