Biology:Uracil dehydrogenase

Short description: Class of enzymes

Uracil dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.99.19, uracil oxidase) is an enzyme with systematic name uracil:(acceptor) oxidoreductase.^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

uracil + acceptor [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] barbiturate + reduced acceptor

Also oxidizes thymine. The enzyme acts on the hydrated derivative of the substrate.
