| Description | This family of proteins is involved in nucleotide metabolism, specifically catalyzing the hydrolysis of UTP to UMP and diphosphate. The enzymatic activity is highly specific to UTP and does not extend to other nucleoside triphosphates such as ATP, GTP, CTP, dTTP, or ITP. The reaction is a part of the pyrimidine salvage pathway and plays a role in the regulation of intracellular levels of UTP and UMP, which are essential for RNA synthesis and other cellular processes. | Name | UTP pyrophosphatase-like |
| Short Name | UTP_pyrophosphatase-like | Type | Family |
