General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution a feature that discriminates UGPs of different species is the quaternary organization. While UGPs in protists are monomers, di- and tetrameric forms exist in bacteria, and the enzyme from yeast and human are octameric UGPs Homo sapiens
additional information hUGPs are active in the octameric state and do not dissociate during the enzymatic cycle, structure-function relationships analysis, overview Homo sapiens
