Classified under:
Hypernyms ("cytidine" is a kind of...):
nucleoside (a glycoside formed by partial hydrolysis of a nucleic acid)
Context examples:
An orally-active pyrimidine analogue of an aza-substituted cytidine in which the ribose moiety is replaced by an arabinose sugar.
(Fazarabine, NCI Thesaurus)
As a prodrug, elacytarabine is converted intracellularly into cytarabine triphosphate by deoxycytidine kinase and subsequently competes with cytidine for incorporation into DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA synthesis.
(Elacytarabine, NCI Thesaurus)
The hydrochloride form of cytarabine, an antimetabolite analogue of cytidine with a modified sugar moiety (arabinose instead of ribose).
(Cytarabine Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)
An antimetabolite analogue of cytidine with a modified sugar moiety (arabinose instead of ribose).
(Cytarabine, NCI Thesaurus)
A pyrimidine nucleoside analogue of cytidine with antineoplastic activity.
(Azacitidine, NCI Thesaurus)
This allele, which encodes cytidine deaminase protein, plays a role in the regulation of pyrimidine metabolism.
(CDA wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
This allele, which encodes activation-induced cytidine deaminase protein, is involved in both DNA methylation and B-cell differentiation.
(AICDA wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)
This gene plays a role in both class-switch recombination in B-lymphocytes and cytidine deamination.
(AICDA Gene, NCI Thesaurus)
Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (198 aa, ~24 kDa) is encoded by the human AICDA gene.
(Activation-Induced Cytidine Deaminase, NCI Thesaurus)
A nutritional supplement and source of choline and cytidine with potential neuroprotective and nootropic activity.
