What is 2′-Deoxycytidine?
2′-Deoxycytidine is a chemical compound with CAS number 951-77-9 and molecular formula C9H13N3O4. It is used in various industrial and research applications.
Applications
2′-Deoxycytidine (deoxyC) is one of the deoxynucleosides which after phosphorylation to dCTP is used to synthesis DNA via various DNA polymerases or reverse transcriptases. 2′-Deoxycytidine (deoxyC) is the substrate for deoxycytidine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.14) which converts it into 2′-deoxyuridine. 2′-Deoxycytidine is phosphorylated to the nucleotide dCMP by the enzyme deoxycytidine kinase (DCK).
