In enzymology, a dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.3.1.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 5,6-dihydrouracil + NADP+ uracil + NADPH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 5,6-dihydrouracil and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are uracil, NADPH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5,6-dihydrouracil:NADP+ 5-oxidoreductase.
Other names in common use include:
- dihydrothymine dehydrogenase
- dihydrouracil dehydrogenase (NADP+)
- 4,5-dihydrothymine: oxidoreductase
- DPD
- DHPDH
- dehydrogenase, dihydrouracil (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, phosphate)
- DHU dehydrogenase
- hydropyrimidine dehydrogenase
- dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (NADP+)
This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways: pyrimidine metabolism, beta-alanine metabolism, and pantothenate and coa biosynthesis.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 5 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1GT8, 1GTE, 1GTH, 1H7W, and 1H7X.
