Description:N(4)-methylcytidine is a modified nucleoside derived from cytidine, characterized by the addition of a methyl group at the nitrogen atom in the 4-position of the pyrimidine ring. This modification can influence the stability and function of RNA molecules, as it may affect base pairing and the overall structure of RNA. N(4)-methylcytidine is known to play a role in various biological processes, including gene expression regulation and RNA processing. It is often found in tRNA and other RNA species, contributing to the fine-tuning of their functions. The presence of this methyl group can enhance the resistance of RNA to degradation by nucleases, thereby increasing its stability. Additionally, N(4)-methylcytidine is of interest in the study of epitranscriptomics, where modifications to RNA are explored for their regulatory roles in cellular processes. Its CAS number, 10578-79-7, is a unique identifier used for chemical substances, facilitating its identification in scientific literature and databases.
