Pyrimidine Nucleotides Metabolism: Biosynthesis and Catabolism

In this article we will discuss about the Metabolism of Pyrimidine Nucleotides:- 1. Biosynthesis of Pyrimidine 2. Catabolism of Pyrimidine 3. Clinical Orientation. Biosynthesis of Pyrimidine: i. The synthesis of pyrimidine ring starts with the formation of carbamoyl phos­phate from glutamine, ATP and CO2 be­ing catalyzed by carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, present in the cytosol of the cell. ii. Carbamoyl phosphate [...]
