uridine kinase-like 2
NCBI Summary
One of the homologous genes predicted to encode proteins with UPRT domains (Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase). Five of these genes (At5g40870, At3g27190, At1g55810, At4g26510 and At3g27440) show a high level of identity, and are annotated as also containing a N-terminal uracil kinase (UK) domain. These genes are referred to as UKL1 (UK-like 1), UKL2, UKL3, UKL4 and UKL5, respectively.

UniProt Comments
Involved in the pyrimidine salvage pathway. The uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (UPRT) activity, that catalyzes the conversion of uracil and 5-phospho-alpha-D-ribose 1-diphosphate (PRPP) to UMP and diphosphate, is unsure.
