CAS 65-46-3: Cytidine
Description:Cytidine is a nucleoside composed of a pyrimidine base, cytosine, and a ribose sugar. It plays a crucial role in biochemistry, particularly in the synthesis of RNA, where it serves as one of the building blocks. Cytidine is characterized by its molecular formula, which consists of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. It is typically a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water, making it readily available for biological processes. Cytidine can participate in various biochemical reactions, including phosphorylation to form cytidine monophosphate (CMP), which is essential for RNA synthesis. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications, including neuroprotective effects and roles in cellular metabolism. As a naturally occurring compound, cytidine is found in all living cells and is integral to the genetic coding and expression processes. Its CAS number, 65-46-3, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
