Product Description

What is Uridine?

Uridine is a pyrimidine nucleoside formed by joining the base uracil to a ribose sugar, making it one of the four fundamental building blocks of RNA. Present naturally in blood, seminal fluid, and cerebrospinal fluid, it’s synthesized in the body through both de novo and salvage metabolic pathways, and it serves as a precursor to uridine monophosphate — essential for protein glycosylation, polysaccharide biosynthesis, and lipid metabolism.

Uses of Uridine

Uridine is increasingly used as a raw material in nutraceutical and dietary-supplement manufacturing, particularly in cognitive-health and cellular-energy formulations. In biochemical research, it’s a standard component of cell-culture media (including hippocampal neuron culture systems) and is used in “uridine rescue” experiments studying cellular metabolism, as well as chase-sequencing techniques in molecular biology.
