Uridine monophosphate synthetase (UMPS) (orotate phosphoribosyl transferase and orotidine-5′-decarboxylase) is the enzyme (EC 4.1.1.23) that catalyses the formation of uridine monophosphate (UMP) an energy-carrying molecule in many important biosynthetic pathways. In humans the gene that codes for this enzyme is located on the long arm of chromosome 3 (3q13).
