Uridine 5'-monophosphate synthase (UMPS), is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the ultimate two steps of the de novo pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway. UMPS in eukaryotes links the orotate phosphoribosyltransferase and the orotidine-5’-monophosphate (OMP) decarboxylase activities into a single protein. The harmony of these 2 enzymes is assumed to be stabilized the catalytic centers as a result of the low molar concentration of the protein in mammalian cells.mutations in this gene are the reason of inherited orotic aciduria disease.

UMPS Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 500 amino acids (1-480 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 54.3kDa.UMPS is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
