| Function | This enzyme is involved in nucleotide metabolism: it produces dUMP, the immediate precursor of thymidine nucleotides and it decreases the intracellular concentration of dUTP so that uracil cannot be incorporated into DNA. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8805593}. |
| Subcellular Location | Isoform 2: Nucleus. |
| Tissue Specificity | Found in a variety of tissues. Isoform 3 expression is constitutive, while isoform 2 expression correlates with the onset of DNA replication (at protein level). Isoform 2 degradation coincides with the cessation of nuclear DNA replication (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9228092}. |
