UTP-monosaccharide-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme
In enzymology, an UTP-monosaccharide-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- UTP + a monosaccharide 1-phosphate diphosphate + UDP-monosaccharide
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UTP and monosaccharide 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and UDP-monosaccharide.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring phosphorus-containing nucleotide groups (nucleotidyltransferases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is '. Other names in common use include UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase', and PsUSP.
