General description
Cytidine 5′-monophosphate
has been used in Raman spectroscopy studies.
Cytidine 5'-monophosphate (5'-Cytidylic acid) is a
nucleotide which is used as a monomer in RNA. Cytidine 5'-monophosphate
consists of the nucleobase cytosine, the pentose sugar ribose, and the
phosphate group.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cytidine 5′-monophosphate
(CMP) is used as a substrate of uridine monophosphate (UMP)/cytidine
monophosphate (CMP) kinase (EC 2.7.4.4) to form CDP which upon phosphorylation
to CTP supports DNA and RNA biosynthesis.
The nucleoside diphosphates cytidine diphosphate (CDP) and
uridine diphosphate (UDP) are essential for pyrimidine synthesis. Cytidine 5′-monophosphate (CMP) nucleotide is useful in
adsorption studies on biomimetic apatite for
mimicking bone mineral. It also serves an immunity supplement in pediatric
formulas.
