UMP/CMP kinase

Function

UMP/CMP kinase (UCK) or uridylmonophosphate/cytidylmonophosphate kinase phosphorylates UMP, CMP and deoxy-CMP^[1].

Relevance

Several cytidine and deoxycytidine analogs are important anticancer and antiviral drugs. These drugs require stepwise phosphorylation to exert their fully therapeutic effect. This phosphorylation is done by UCK^[2].
