    Product Description

    Cytidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside composed of ribose and a cytosine base.1 It forms complementary base pairs with the purine nucleoside guanosine (Item No. 27702) in DNA and RNA. Cytidine is a precursor of uridine (Item No. 20300) and can also be phosphorylated by uridine-cytidine kinase to form CMP (Item No. 35116).2,1 It rescues inhibition of proliferation induced by knockdown of CTP synthase 1 in T cells when used at a concentration of 200 µM.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
