uridine 5'-monophosphate

5'-Uridylic acid. A uracil nucleotide containing one phosphate group esterified to the sugar moiety in the 2', 3' or 5' position. Uridine 5'-monophosphate (Uridylic acid) is a nucleotide that is found in RNA. It is an ester of phosphoric acid with the nucleoside uridine. UMP consists of the phosphate group, the pentose sugar ribose, and the nucleobase uracil.

Uridine 5'-monophosphate disodium salt (Disodium UMP) has been used to study the effect of pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor, 5-azacytidine, on cholesterol and lipid metabolism. It has been used to study the effect of nucleotides on growth of specific intestinal bacteria.

2'-Deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate disodium (2'-dUMP⋅2Na) salt is utilized by the enzyme thymidylate synthetase (TS) for the de novo synthesis of dTMP and serves as the reference substrate in studies of dUMP analogues for potential chemotherapy applications.

Cytidine 5'-diphosphate trisodium salt (CDP) catalyzes the production of Cytidine triphosphate (CTP) for DNA and RNA synthesis by transferring a phosphoryl group from ATP to cytidine monophosphate (CMP) through the action of uridine monophosphate kinase (UMPK).

2'-Deoxycytidine-5'-monophosphoric acid (2'-Deoxycytidine 5'-monophosphate) is a substrate of uridine monophosphate (UMP) cytidine monophosphate (CMP) kinase (EC 2.7.4.4) that forms dCDP, which, upon phosphorylation to dCTP, supports DNA biosynthesis.

Orotidine 5′-monophosphate, a pyrimidine ribonucleoside, functions as an endogenous metabolite in human, E. coli, and mouse processes. It serves as an intermediate in uridine monophosphate (UMP) biosynthesis and is utilized in researching the mechanism of orotidine 5′-monophosphate decarboxylase.
