Uridine 5'-monophosphate

Description: 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. Target: Others, Endogenous Metabolite. Smiles: O[C@H]1[C@@H](O[C@H](COP(=O)(O)O)[C@H]1O)N2C(=O)NC(=O)C=C2.
