Type: | Family | Name: | Orotidine 5'-phosphate decarboxylase, type 2 |
Description: | Orotidine 5'-phosphate decarboxylase (OMPdecase) [, ] catalyzes the last step in the de novobiosynthesis of pyrimidines, the decarboxylation of OMP into UMP. In higher eukaryotes OMPdecase is part, with orotate phosphoribosyltransferase, of a bifunctional enzyme, while the prokaryotic and fungal OMPdecases are monofunctional protein.This entry represents orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase type 2 - a distinct subfamily of the same enzyme represented by . | Short Name: | OMPdecase_type-2 |
