Orotidine 5′-monophosphate is a pyrimidine ribonucleoside and plays a role as an endogenous metabolite of human, E. coli or mouse. Orotidine 5′-monophosphate is an intermediate in the biosynthesis ofuridine monophosphate (UMP). Orotidine 5′-monophosphate can be used for the study of mechanism of orotidine 5′-monophosphate decarboxylase[1][2].
ChEBI: Orotidine 5'-phosphate is a pyrimidine ribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate having 6-carboxyuracil as the nucleobase. It has a role as a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of an orotidine 5'-phosphate(3-).
