Uridine-d2 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of uridine (Item No. 20300) by GC- or LC-MS. Uridine is a pyrimidine nucleoside composed of uracil (Item No. 26088) and ribose.1 It forms complementary base pairs with adenosine (Item No. 21232) in RNA.2 Uridine can be catabolized to uracil via uridine phosphorylase, and it can be phosphorylated to uridine-5'-monophosphate (UMP; Item No. 35382) by uridine-cytidine kinase (UCK).1,3 It is replaced with thymidine (Item No. 20519) in DNA.4
