Nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase

Proteins and Enzymes

Nucleoside deoxyribosyltransferase is an enzyme classified as EC 2.4.2.6. It catalyzes the reversible transfer of a 2-deoxy-D-ribosyl group between nucleobases, converting one deoxyribosyl-base and a second base into a different deoxyribosyl-base and the first base. It belongs to the glycosyltransferase family, specifically the pentosyltransferases, and participates in pyrimidine metabolism.

EC number: EC 2.4.2.6
Enzyme family: Glycosyltransferases, specifically pentosyltransferases
Metabolic role: Participates in pyrimidine metabolism
