It is like cytidine, but with one oxygen atom removed. Deoxycytidine is a compound and a nucleoside.
Uridine-cytidine kinase (UCK) (EC 2.7.1.48) is a pyrimidine ribonucleoside kinase that catalyzes the phosphorylation of uridine and cytidine to UMP and CMP. 在本论文的第一章中主要是对人类尿苷胞苷激酶(UCK,EC 2.7.1.48)基因进行的一系列研究。
Cytidine is a nucleoside molecule that is formed when cytosine is attached to a ribose ring (also known as a ribofuranose) via a β-N1-glycosidic bond. Cytidine is a component of RNA.
If cytosine is attached to a deoxyribose ring, it is known as a deoxycytidine.
