The enzyme catalyses the Mg2+-dependent hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP, providing the substrate for EC 2.1.1.45, thymidylate synthase, leading to production of thymidine nucleotides. By reducing the effective ratio of dUTP to TTP, the enzyme also reduces the possibility of dUTP incorporation into DNA.

dUTP nucleotidohydrolase
The enzyme catalyses the Mg2+-dependent hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP, providing the substrate for EC 2.1.1.45, thymidylate synthase, leading to production of thymidine nucleotides. By reducing the effective ratio of dUTP to TTP, the enzyme also reduces the possibility of dUTP incorporation into DNA.
the enzyme is responsible for maintaining a low dUTP level in order to avoid the incorporation of uracil into DNA, and for providing dUMP as a substrate for deoxythymidine triphosphate biosynthesis
