What is Uridine?
Uridine is a nucleoside composed of a uracil nitrogenous base and ribose. In contrast, uridine monophosphate (UMP) is a nucleotide that binds uridine to one phosphate residue, forming one of the main components of RNA (ribonucleic acid).
MP plays a key role in cells, performing many important biological functions. It is the initial nucleotide in the formation of nucleoside pyrophosphates: uridine diphosphate (UDP) and uridine triphosphate (UTP). These pyrophosphates are crucial for many cellular functions, including the production of polysaccharides, glycogen and the modification of proteins and fats.
Scientists are studying uridine mainly for its potential effects on the nervous system. It is believed that uridine monophosphate may promote the regeneration of neural structures.
