Description | Deoxycytidine triphosphate deaminase (dCTP deaminase) is an enzyme involved in nucleotide metabolism. It catalyses the formation of dUTP (deoxyuridine (5'-)triphosphate), which in turn is degraded by dUTPase (dUTP diphosphatase) to produce dUMP (deoxyuridine monophosphate). dUMP is the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides [ ].Members of this family include the Escherichia coli monofunctional deoxycytidine triphosphate deaminase (dCTP deaminase) [ ] and a Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (Methanococcus jannaschii) bifunctional dCTP deaminase ()/dUTP diphosphatase ( ) [ ]. |
