Is there a way to create a custom UUID prefix for Laravel 5.8?

I would like to add a custom prefix to UUIDs within Laravel to help keep better track of Database entries. Currently, when called, the uuid(); function will produce a table entry like this:

6ab4a8c-9597-lle7-a63c-0242c100426l

But I would like to be able to a a prefix infront of every uuid entry within that table. For instance, Users within the Users table would have a uuid prefixed with UUID of:

UUID-6ab4a8c-9597-lle7-a63c-0242c100426l

and Posts would be saved in the Posts table with a PUID prefix:

PUID-6ab4a8c-9597-lle7-a63c-0242c100426l

to signify ('Post' Unique Identifier).

The default migration for the Users table is as follows:

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->bigIncrements('id');
    $table->string('name');
    $table->string('email')->unique();
    $table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
    $table->string('password');
    $table->rememberToken();
    $table->timestamps();
});

To use UUIDs, the following would be used:

Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {

    $table->uuid('uuid')->primary();

});

I'm not sure where the models defining UUID(s) are stored, and I'm not sure I'd want to modify the entire model.

Ideally, the a uuid would be defined using the table name, then the prefix as such:

$table->uuid('puid', 'PUID')->primary();

Does anyone know how this could be implemented?

Thanks in advance.
