step 2 Irreversible/directional

CMP (or cytidine) → uridine

Converts CMP into Uridine

Notes

Cytidine deaminase catalyzes cytidine + H2O → uridine + NH3; after CMP is dephosphorylated, this reaction funnels cytosine nucleosides into uracil catabolism. Cytidine deaminase also acts on deoxycytidine to form deoxyuridine and is clinically important in nucleoside drug metabolism.
