orotate phosphoribosyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of a ribosyl phosphate group from 5-phosphoribose 1-diphosphate to orotate, leading to the formation of orotidine monophosphate (OMP)

Orotate phosphoribosyltransferase (OPRTase) is involved in the biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. Alpha-D-ribosyldiphosphate 5-phosphate (PRPP) and orotate are utilized to form pyrophosphate and orotidine 5'-monophosphate (OMP) in the presence of divalent cations, preferably Mg2+. In a number of eukaryotes, this protein is fused to a domain that catalyses the reaction (EC 4.1.1.23). The combined activity of EC 2.4.2.10 and EC 4.1.1.23 is termed uridine 5'-monophosphate synthase. The conserved Lys (K) residue at position 101 of the seed alignment has been proposed as the active site for the enzyme.
