Cytidine

Cytidine is a naturally occurring nucleoside consisting of the pyrimidine base cytosine linked to a ribose sugar. It is an essential component of RNA and participates in nucleic acid synthesis, cellular signaling, and metabolic processes. Supplied as a water-soluble crystalline powder, cytidine is widely used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and nucleotide research.

In laboratory applications, cytidine is used in studies of RNA synthesis, enzymatic assays, and nucleotide metabolism. Its high purity and stability make it suitable for in vitro experiments, nucleoside supplementation, and research involving nucleic acid synthesis or biochemical pathways where cytosine-containing nucleosides are required.
