Cytidine (Cat No.: A000454) is a nucleoside composed of the base cytosine and the sugar ribose. It is a key component of RNA and plays an essential role in various biochemical processes, including protein synthesis and cellular metabolism. Cytidine is involved in the synthesis of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and CDP-choline, which are crucial for cell signaling and phospholipid metabolism. It is also studied for its potential neuroprotective effects and has been investigated in treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
