UPB1 also known as Ureidopropionase beta is an enzyme encoded by the UPB1 gene. It is approximately 37 kDa in mass. UPB1 conducts the hydrolysis of N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine and N-carbamoyl-beta-aminoisobutyric acid to provide beta-alanine beta-aminoisobutyric acid ammonia and carbon dioxide. It is commonly expressed in liver and kidney tissues.
Biological function summary
UPB1 plays an important role in the catabolic pathway of pyrimidine metabolism. This enzyme participates in the breakdown of uracil which is part of nucleotide catabolism. UPB1 operates independently rather than as a part of a protein complex. It ensures detoxification and recycling of nitrogenous compounds derived from pyrimidine breakdown.
Pathways
UPB1 is an integral component of the pyrimidine metabolic pathway. It provides a link between the pyrimidine degradation pathway and general nitrogen metabolism by supplying beta-alanine. This function complements the enzymatic roles of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPYD) and dihydropyrimidinase (DPYS) which are involved in earlier steps in the same degradation pathway.
Disturbances associated with UPB1 can lead to a condition called N-carbamoyl-beta-amino aciduria. This is a metabolic disorder characterized by excessive accumulation of N-carbamoyl-beta-amino acids in urine. The interaction with proteins such as DPYS and DPYD may exacerbate or modify the severity of this metabolic condition as they are upstream components in the pyrimidine degradation pathway.
