Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the reversible phosphorylytic cleavage of uridine to uracil and ribose-1-phosphate (PubMed:16751). Shows weak activity towards deoxyuridine and thymidine (PubMed:16751). The produced molecules are then utilized as carbon and energy sources or in the rescue of pyrimidine bases for nucleotide synthesis (Probable).
