Uracil phosphoribosyltransferase is an enzyme which interconverts uridine monophosphate with uracil and phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate. In the forward direction shown, pyrophosphoric acid is added to the ribose sugar unit to cleave off the attached heterocycle.[1][2]

This protein is thought to use the morpheein model of allosteric regulation.[3]
