Description

Application

Useful in the selection of orotidine-5′-phosphate decarboxylase mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

5-Fluoroorotic acid hydrate has also been used as a counter-selection agent to screen L. lactis (multi) peptidase knockout mutants[1] and C. albicans.[2] It has been used in synthesis of 5-fluoroorotidine 5′-monophosphate (FOMP).

Biochem/physiol Actions

5-Fluoroorotic acid is a selective inhibitor of rRNA synthesis in mammals.
