Description
In enzymology, an UTP-monosaccharide-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.64) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: UTP + a monosaccharide 1-phosphate → diphosphate + UDP-monosaccharide. Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are UTP and monosaccharide 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and UDP-monosaccharide.
