Comments [?]

Function The 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 RHEA:16037: phosphate + thymidine = 2-deoxy-alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate + thymine
EC 2.4.2.4
Pathway Pyrimidine metabolism; dTMP biosynthesis via salvage pathway; dTMP from thymine: step 1/2.
Subunit Homodimer.
Similarity Belongs to the thymidine/pyrimidine-nucleoside phosphorylase family.
