Descripción

5-Methoxycarbonylmethyluridine is a nucleoside that is a precursor in the synthesis of other nucleotides. It has been shown to have potential as a biomarker for various diseases, such as metabolic disorders and hepatic steatosis. 5-Methoxycarbonylmethyluridine also inhibits the activity of methyltransferases, which are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosylmethionine to substrates. It is also used as a model system for polymerase chain reaction in cancer research, because it has been shown to inhibit DNA replication by blocking the incorporation of uracil into DNA.
5-Methoxycarbonylmethyluridine has been found at high levels in fetal bovine serum and eukaryotic cells, but not in prokaryotes or cancerous tissues.
