Uridine-5'-monophosphate (sodium salt hydrate)

Description: Uridine-5'-monophosphate (UMP) is a ribonucleotide.1It is formedviadecarboxylation of orotidine-5'-monophosphate (5'-OMP) by OMP decarboxylase. UMP is further phosphorylated by UMP-CMP kinase to form UDP and UTP during nucleic acid biosynthesis. Formulations containing UMP have been used as dietary supplements. Target: Others. Smiles: O.[Na+].[Na+].OC1C(O)C(OC1COP([O-])([O-])=O)n1ccc(=O)[nH]c1=O. References: Berg, J.M., Tymoczko, J.L., and Stryer, L.Nucleotide BiosynthesisBiochemistry(2002)
