| Reaction(IUBMB) |
(1) uridine + phosphate = uracil + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate [RN: R01876];
(2) thymidine + phosphate = thymine + 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate [RN: R01570];
(3) 2'-deoxyuridine + phosphate = uracil + 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate [RN: R02484]

| Comment |
Unlike EC 2.4.2.3, uridine phosphorylase, and EC 2.4.2.4, thymidine phosphorylase, this enzyme can accept both the ribonucleoside uridine and the 2'-deoxyribonucleosides 2'-deoxyuridine and thymidine [3]. The reaction is reversible, and the enzyme does not distinguish between alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate and 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate in the synthetic direction.
