A radiochemical assay was developed to measure the activity of beta-ureidopropionase in human liver homogenates which is based on the detection of the reaction product (14)CO(2) by liquid scintillation counting. Radiolabeled N-carbamyl-beta-alanine was prepared within 15 min by a simple

The metabolism of [5-3H]uridine and the incorporation of the precursor into liver RNA was studied in developing (13-day-old) and adult (45-day-old) mice. Different time-courses of labelling and increased amounts of labelled catabolic products of uridine were found in liver and

3-Ureidopropionate (3-UPA) is a physiologic metabolite in pyrimidine degradation. Pathological accumulation of 3-UPA in body fluids is found in 3-ureidopropionase deficiency and severe forms of propionic aciduria. Both diseases clinically present with a severe neuropathology involving gray and white matter
