Chemical Properties
Crystalline
Uses
2'-Deoxycytidine-5'-monophosphate is used as a substrate of uridine monophosphate (UMP)/cytidine monophosphate (CMP) kinase (EC 2.7.4.4) to form dCDP which upon phosphorylation to dCTP supports DNA and RNA biosynthesis.
Uses
A phosphorylated metabolite of the deoxyribonucleoside 2’Deoxycytidine. A constituent of Deoxyribonucleic acid. Studies show that it increases influenza virus antigen-induced immune cell proliferatio
n.
Definition
ChEBI: Dianion of 2'-deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate arising from deprotonation of both OH groups of the phosphate.
General Description
2′-Deoxycytidine 5′-monophosphate is a deoxynucleotide building block via which DNA is made. It consists of a 2′-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranose, linked through an N-β-D-glycosidic linkage to a heterocycle nitrogen cytosine. It is phosphorylated at carbon C-5′.
Purification Methods
Recrystallise the acid from H2O or aqueous EtOH and dry it in a vacuum. [Volkin et al. J Am Chem Soc 73 1533 1951, UV: Fox et al. J Am Chem Soc 75 4315 1953, IR: Michelson & Todd J Chem Soc 3438 1954, Beilstein 25 IV 3664.]
