Gene Accession
P09254
Gene Alias
Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) (EC 3.6.1.23) (dUTP pyrophosphatase)
Background
FUNCTION: Involved in nucleotide metabolism: produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP to avoid uracil incorporation into viral DNA. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_04031}.
