Function Description (English)

About Nucleoside Phosphorylase: Surzyme has developed 3 NP enzyme products (Code ZS-NP-101～ZS-NP-103). ZS-NP-101 is purine nucleoside phosphorylase, while ZS-NP-102 and ZS-NP-103 are pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylases. Nucleoside phosphorylase decomposes nucleosides into bases and pentose phosphates. It is classified into purine type and pyrimidine type according to its preference for nucleobases. Purine nucleoside phosphorylase metabolizes adenosine to adenine, inosine to hypoxanthine and guanosine to guanine, with ribose phosphate formed simultaneously. Pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase metabolizes uridine to uracil and produces ribose phosphate.
