Uracil dehydrogenase

Uracil dehydrogenase (, uracil oxidase) is an enzyme with systematic name uracil:(acceptor) oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * uracil + acceptor $$\rightleftharpoons$$ barbiturate + reduced acceptor

Also oxidizes thymine. The enzyme acts on the hydrated derivative of the substrate.
