IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 2.7.4.14

Accepted name: UMP/CMP kinase

Reaction: (1) ATP + (d)CMP = ADP + (d)CDP
(2) ATP + UMP = ADP + UDP

Other name(s): cytidylate kinase; deoxycytidylate kinase; CTP:CMP phosphotransferase; dCMP kinase; deoxycytidine monophosphokinase; UMP-CMP kinase; ATP:UMP-CMP phosphotransferase; pyrimidine nucleoside monophosphate kinase; uridine monophosphate-cytidine monophosphate phosphotransferase

Systematic name: ATP:CMP(UMP) phosphotransferase

Comments: This eukaryotic enzyme is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of both CMP and UMP with similar efficiency. dCMP can also act as acceptor. Different from the monofunctional prokaryotic enzymes EC 2.7.4.25, CMP kinase and EC 2.7.4.22, UMP kinase.
