General description
Uridine (β-Uridine) is a nucleoside compound composed
of uracil and a ribose ring, which are connected by a β-N1-glycosidic
bond.
Uridine is a nucleoside, contains a uracil attached to a
ribose ring via a β-N1-glycosidic bond.
Uridine is a uracil nucleoside, specific for RNA sequence.
Uridine is present in blood, seminal fluid and cerebrospinal fluid. Uridine is
a substrate for nucleotide synthesis in living organisms by de- novo and
salvage pathways.
Application
Uridine has been used:
as an inhibitor of schwann cell
proliferation in rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons culture
as a medium supplement for epiblasts culture
as a component of 5-fluoro-2′-deoxyuridine stock
solution used for neuronal culture
