Identification
NameDihydroorotate dehydrogenase
Synonyms
  • DHOD
  • DHODase
  • DHOdehase
  • Dihydroorotate oxidase
Gene NameURA1
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in catalytic activity
Specific FunctionIn the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesic pathway, catalyzes the stereospecific oxidation of (S)-dihydroorotate to orotate and the reduction of fumarate to succinate. Does not use oxaloacetate and NAD or NADP as electron acceptors
