About UCK1

Cytogenetic location: 9q34.13 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:131,523,801-131,531,263 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 203 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in kidney (RPKM 13.1), ovary (RPKM 12.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a uridine-cytidine kinase that catalyzes the phosphorylation of uridine and cytidine to uridine monophosphate (UMP) and cytidine monophosphate (CMP) but not the phosphorylation of deoxyribonucleosides or purine ribonucleosides. This Enzyme can also phosphorylate uridine and cytidine analogs and uses both ATP and GTP as a phosphate donor. Alternative splicing results in multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms.
