7-<wbr></wbr>Methylguanosine is a purine base modified by the addition of a methyl group and closely resembles the 5’ terminal cap structure present on eukaryotic mRNA. It cannot be rephosphorylated and reused for de novo synthesis, and so is excreted by cells and can be detected in serum and urine. It has been used as a biomarker for some types of cancer.
