In enzymology an urate-ribonucleotide phosphorylase (EC 2.4.2.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionurate D-ribonucleotide + phosphate urate + alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are urate D-ribonucleotide and phosphate whereas its two products are urate and alpha-D-ribose 1-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the pentosyltransferases.
