NCBI Protein Information
uracil phosphoribosyltransferase
NCBI Summary
Encodes UPP, a plastidial uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) involved in uracil salvage. Loss-of-function mutation causes dramatic growth retardation, a pale-green to albino phenotype, abnormal root morphology and chloroplastic disorders.

UniProt Comments
Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) that catalyzes the conversion of uracil and 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate (PRPP) to UMP and diphosphate. Is probably the only functional UPRT, since the dual-domain proteins of the UKL family seem to lack this activity.
