Uridine and its properties
Uridine is a nucleoside consisting of a uracil nitrogenous base and ribose sugar. Uridine monophosphate (UMP, from uridine monophosphate), on the other hand, is a nucleotide that consists of a uridine nucleoside linked to one phosphate group. It is one of the basic building units of RNA (ribonucleic acid).
UMP is a key metabolite in cells and has many important biological functions. It is the initial nucleotide in the biosynthesis pathway of nucleoside pyrophosphates such as uridine diphosphate (UDP) and uridine triphosphate (UTP). These higher pyrophosphates are essential for many cellular processes, including the synthesis of polysaccharides, glycogen and the modification of proteins and lipids.
Scientific research with uridine has mainly focused on analyzing its effects on the nervous system. This is due to the fact that uridine monophosphate is recognized as a factor associated with the restoration of neural structures.
