FUNCTIONThe enzymes which catalyze the reversible phosphorolysis of pyrimidine nucleosides are involved in the degradation of these compounds and in their utilization as carbon and energy sources, or in the rescue of pyrimidine bases for nucleotide synthesis.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=phosphate + thymidine = 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate + thymine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16037, ChEBI:CHEBI:17748, ChEBI:CHEBI:17821, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:57259; EC=2.4.2.4;
PATHWAYPyrimidine metabolism; dTMP biosynthesis via salvage pathway; dTMP from thymine: step 1/2.
SUBUNITHomodimer.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the thymidine/pyrimidine-nucleoside phosphorylase family.
