Product Information

• Name: 5-(Carboxyhydroxymethyl)uridine methyl ester
• Synonyms: 1,2,3,4-Tetrahydro-alpha-hydroxy-2,4-dioxo-1-beta-D-ribofuranosyl-5-pyrimidineacetic acid methyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-(Carboxyhydroxymethyl)uridine methyl ester is a modified form of uridine that is used in biochemical reactions. It is found in the ovary, where it interacts with acidic environments to produce the corresponding hydroxymethyl derivatives. The hydroxymethyl derivatives are then converted to the corresponding 5-carboxy-hydroxymethyl derivatives by conjugates and modifications, which can be analyzed using various assays. 5-(Carboxyhydroxymethyl)uridine methyl ester has also been shown to have epigenetic effects on cellular activity and cancer.
