Metabolite Identification
Common NameUridine
DescriptionUridine, also known as beta-uridine or allo uridine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine nucleosides. Pyrimidine nucleosides are compounds comprising a pyrimidine base attached to a ribosyl or deoxyribosyl moiety. Uridine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Uridine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, uridine is involved in the metabolic pathway called lactose synthesis pathway. Uridine has been found to be associated with several diseases known as degenerative disc disease, canavan disease, and ulcerative colitis; also uridine has been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including argininemia and lesch-nyhan syndrome.
