    Product Description

    2’-Deoxycytidine-5’-monophosphate (dCMP) is a deoxyribonucleotide.1 It is formed via phosphorylation of deoxycytidine by deoxycytidine kinase in the cytosol or thymidine kinase 2 (TK2) in mitochondria.2,3 It is further phosphorylated by UMP-CMP kinase to form dCDP (Item No. 22982) during nucleic acid synthesis.4 dCMP (700 mg/kg) decreases hydroxyurea-induced neuroepithelial cell necrosis in embryonic mouse spinal cord when administered to pregnant dams.5 Oral administration of dCMP in combination with dTMP increases lifespan in a Tk2 H126N knock-in mouse model of TK2 deficiency.3
