| deficiency, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase | Deficiency of G6PD is the commonest disease-causing enzyme defect in humans affecting an estimated 400 million people. The G6PD gene is on the X chromosome. Males with the enzyme deficiency develop anaemia due to breakup of their red blood cells when they are exposed to oxidant drugs such as the antimalarial primaquine, the sulfonamide antibiotics or sulfones, naphthalene moth balls, or fava beans.

| cyclic uridine 3',5'-monophosphate | A cyclic nucleotide involved in metabolic regulation; inhibits the growth of some tumours. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inosine-uridine hydrolase | <enzyme> From crithidia fasciculata; hydrolyzes the n-glycosidic bonds of purine and pyrimidine nucleosides Registry number: EC 3.2.2.- Synonym: inosine-uridine preferring nucleoside hydrolase, iu-nucleoside hydrolase (26 Jun 1999) |
| uridine | <biochemistry> The ribonucleoside formed by the combination of ribose and uracil. (18 Nov 1997) |
| uridine 5'-(alpha-D-galactopyranosyl pyrophosphate) NAD 2-hexosyl oxidoreductase | <enzyme> Converts udpgalactose (pyranose form) to 2-keto-galactose which rearranges to furanose form Chemical name: UDPgalactose nad 2-hexosyl oxidoreductase Registry number: EC 1.1.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| uridine 5'-monophosphate | Uridine esterified by phosphoric acid on one or more sugar hydroxyl groups; UMP is typically uridine 5'-monophosphate; 2' and 3' derivatives also occur; precursor for the biosynthesis of other pyrimidine nucleotides. Synonym: UMP synthase, uridine 5'-monophosphate. Uridylic acid synthase, a bifunctional enzyme that contains the activities of both orotate phosphoribosyltransferase and orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase; catalyses a key step in pyrimidine biosynthesis; a deficiency of this enzyme leads to orotic aciduria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uridine 5'-monophosphate synthase | <chemical> Consists of orotate phosphoribosyltransferase EC 2.4.2.10 and orotidylate decarboxylase EC 4.1.1.23 Chemical name: synthase, uridylate Synonym: ump synthase, uridine 5'-phosphate synthase, uridylate synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| uridine 5'-triphosphate | <biochemistry> Uridine esterified with triphosphoric acid at its 5'-position; the immediate precursor of uridylic acid residues in RNA. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uridine diphosphogalactose | A pyrophosphate group links the 5'-position of uridine and the 1 position of d-galactose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| uridine diphosphoglucose | A pyrophosphate group links the 5'-position of uridine and the 1-position of d-glucose; an intermediate in glycogen biosynthesis. Synonym: UDPglucose. Acronym: UDPG (05 Mar 2000) |
| uridine diphosphoglucose 4-epimerase | <enzyme> A necessary enzyme in the metabolism of galactose. It reversibly catalyses the conversion of udpglucose to udpgalactose. NAD+ is an essential component for enzymatic activity. Chemical name: UDPglucose 4-epimerase Registry number: EC 5.1.3.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| uridine diphosphoglucuronic acid | Uridine diphosphoglucose in which the 6 CH2OH of the glucose has been oxidised to COOH (has become a glucuronyl residue); participates in the formation of conjugates of bilirubin or drugs such as aspirin. Acronym: UDPGA (05 Mar 2000) |
| uridine diphosphoxylose | <biochemistry> Monosaccharide pentose that is found in xylans, very abundant components of hemicelluloses. (18 Nov 1997) |
| uridine kinase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of uridine and cytidine to uridine 5'-phosphate and cytidine 5'-phosphate, respectively. ATP, dutp, dGTP, and datp are effective phosphate donors. Chemical name: ATP:uridine 5'-phosphotransferase Registry number: EC 2.7.1.48 (12 Dec 1998) |
