The uridine/cytidine kinase NK15 originates from the humanUCK2 gene (isoform 1). The enzyme phosphorylates both uridine and cytidine (and their analogs) to their respective monophosphate forms. It does not phosphorylate deoxyribonucleosides or purine ribonucleosides. The quasi-irreversible transfer of phosphate from the high energy phosphate donor to the nucleoside enables high NMP yields.
