General description

Uridine 5′-monophosphate acts as a precursor for all pyrimidine nucleotides.

Application

Uridine 5′-monophosphate has been used as a component in isotonic E3 medium for isotonic reconstitution experiments to study its effects on the basal cell response or epithelial cell migration to the wound in the isotonic medium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Uridine 5′-monophosphate (UMP) is a nucleotide monomer in RNA. It contains the nucleobase uracil along with the ribose sugar and a phosphate group. UMP dietary supplementation enhances neurotransmitter release and neurite outgrowth and also promotes membrane phosphatide production in adult rats. Oral supplementation of DHA, co-administered with UMP, in adult gerbils shows an increase in dendritic spines and neuronal membrane synthesis. It suggests a strategy for the treatment of cognitive disorders resulting from synapse loss.

Membrane phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine (PC) are required for cellular growth and repair, and specifically for synaptic function. PC synthesis is controlled by cellular levels of its precursor, cytidine-5'-diphosphate choline (CDP-choline), which is produced from cytidine triphosphate (CTP) and phosphocholine. In
