Notes: 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.{64399} It forms complementary base pairs with adenosine (Item No. 21232) in RNA.{64400} 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).{64399,64401} It is replaced with thymidine (Item No. 20519) in DNA.{64402}
