The UCK1 Polyclonal Antibody (PAC015700) is a valuable tool for researchers studying UCK1, an enzyme involved in nucleotide metabolism and DNA synthesis. This antibody, produced in rabbits, offers high reactivity with human samples and is validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the UCK1 protein, researchers can accurately detect and analyze UCK1 levels in various cell types, making it suitable for studies in molecular biology and cancer research.UCK1, also known as uridine-cytidine kinase 1, plays a crucial role in the synthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides, essential for DNA replication and cell growth.
Dysregulation of UCK1 activity has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer and viral infections, making it a promising target for therapeutic intervention. By studying the function of UCK1, researchers can gain valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying these diseases and potentially identify new treatment strategies.

Background:
This gene encodes a uridine-cytidine kinase that catalyzes the phosphorylation of uridine and cytidine to uridine monophosphate (UMP) and cytidine monophosphate (CMP) but not the phosphorylation of deoxyribonucleosides or purine ribonucleosides. This enzyme can also phosphorylate uridine and cytidine analogs and uses both ATP and GTP as a phosphate donor. Alternative splicing results in multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms.
Synonyms:
uridine-cytidine kinase 1
UniProt Protein Function:
UCK1: Phosphorylates uridine and cytidine to uridine monophosphate and cytidine monophosphate. Does not phosphorylate deoxyribonucleosides or purine ribonucleosides. Can use ATP or GTP as a phosphate donor. Can also phosphorylate cytidine and uridine nucleoside analogs such as 6-azauridine, 5-fluorouridine, 4- thiouridine, 5-bromouridine, N(4)-acetylcytidine, N(4)- benzoylcytidine, 5-fluorocytidine, 2-thiocytidine, 5- methylcytidine, and N(4)-anisoylcytidine. Belongs to the uridine kinase family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Kinase, other; Nucleotide Metabolism - pyrimidine; Xenobiotic Metabolism - drug metabolism - other enzymes; EC 2.7.1.48Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 9q34.13Cellular Component: cytosolMolecular Function: nucleoside kinase activity; uridine kinase activityBiological Process: pyrimidine base metabolic process; pyrimidine nucleoside salvage
