General description
Cytidine is a nucleoside molecule that is formed when
cytosine is attached to a ribose ring, cytidine is a component of RNA.
Cytidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside and acts as a component
of RNA. Cytidine is a precursor of uridine. Cytidine controls neuronal-glial
glutamate cycling, affecting cerebral phospholipid metabolism, catecholamine
synthesis, and mitochondrial function.
Cytidine is a nucleoside molecule. It is formed when
cytosine is attached to a ribose ring through a β-N1-glycosidic bond.
Application
Cytidine has been used as a component to prepare
ribonucleoside stock solution to assess its effects on the anaerobic growth of
several Bacillus mojavensis strains.
Cytidine has been used as a non-essential aminoacid component of minimal essential medium (MEM) to analyse interspecies somatic cell nucleus transfer (iSCNT)-derived blastocysts. It has also been used as a
supplement in the culture medium of HeLa cells, to study the effects of
cytidine addition on rods and rings (RR) induced by glutamine deprivation.
