Protein
Putative deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase
Organism
Frog virus 3 (isolate Goorha)
Function
This enzyme is involved in nucleotide metabolism: it produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and it decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA.
Similarity
Belongs to the dUTPase family.
