Uracil Phosphoribosyltransferase Homolog/UPRT Protein(N-6His) (recombinant human)

Protein Construction: Recombinant Human Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase homolog is produced by our E.coli expression system and the target gene encoding Met1-Asp309 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Sequence: Met 1-Asp309. Fusion tag: N-6His Endotoxin: < 1.0 EU per µg as determined by the LAL method. Apparent Molecular Mass: 40 kDa. Protein function: UPRT is a cytoplasmic enzyme which belongs to the UPRTase family. UPRT is highly expressed in leukocytes, liver, spleen and thymus, with lower expression in brain, lung and skeletal muscle. UPRTcatalyzes the conversion of uracil and 5-phosphoribosyl-1-R-diphosphate to uridine monophosphate (UMP). This reaction is an important part of nucleotide metabolism, specifically the pyrimidine salvage pathway. UPRT is a potential target for rational design of drugs to treat parasitic infections and cancer
