Application
Pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PyNPase) may be used as a marker to predict the malignant potential of breast cancer, especially lymph node metastasis. PyNPase is used to study breast cancer, specifically its role in angiogenesis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PyNPase) is a glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the conversion of pyrimidine nucleoside and phosphate to a pyrimidine base and α-D-ribose 1-phosphate. PyNPase plays a significant role in breast cancer angiogenesis.
Unit Definition
One unit will convert 1 μmole each of thymidine and phosphate to thymine and 2-deoxyribose 1-phosphate per minute at pH 7.4 and 25°C

Pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PYNP) catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of pyrimidines in the nucleotide synthesis salvage pathway. In lower organisms (e.g. Bacillus stearothermophilus) PYNP accepts both thymidine and uridine, whereas in mammalian and other higher organisms it is specific for thymidine

The clinical significance of pyrimidine nucleoside phosphorylase (PyNPase) activity in breast carcinomas has never been determined. In 41 cases of breast carcinoma, the enzyme activity of PyNPase was determined by the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay and its value
