Minor CTP synthase isozyme (see also URA7); catalyzes the ATP-dependent transfer of the amide nitrogen from glutamine to UTP, forming CTP, the final step in de novo biosynthesis of pyrimidines; involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; capable of forming cytoplasmic filaments termed cytoophidium, especially during conditions of glucose depletion; URA8 has a paralog, URA7, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000003864]

Chromosome X: 620,754-622,490 forward strand.

R64-1-1:BK006943.2

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 394 orthologues and 1 paralogue.
