Uracil/thymine dehydrogenase (EC 1.17.99.4, uracil oxidase, uracil-thymine oxidase, uracil dehydrogenase) is an enzyme with systematic name uracil:acceptor oxidoreductase.[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (1) uracil + H2O + acceptor barbiturate + reduced acceptor
- (2) thymine + H2O + acceptor 5-methylbarbiturate + reduced acceptor
Uracil/thymine dehydrogenase forms part of the oxidative pyrimidine-degrading pathway in some microorganisms.
