General description

Uridine is a uracil nucleoside, specific for RNA sequence. Uridine is present in blood, seminal fluid and cerebrospinal fluid.[1] Uridine is synthesized in living organisms by de novo and salvage pathways.

Application

Uridine has been used:
  • as a component of hippocampal neuron medium for culture of primary hippocampal neuron cells[2]
  • in uridine rescue experiments in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human breast cancer cells[3]
  • in chase sequencing experiments[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Uridine monophosphate is essential for protein glycosylation, polysaccharide biosynthesis and lipid metabolism. Oral administration of uridine is suggested for anisopoikilocytosis and epileptic encephalopathy disorders.[5] Uridine has numerous biological functions like treating dry eye syndrome, regulating nervous system and favors reproduction. High levels of uridine are implicated in insulin resistance.[1]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How and for how long can I store solutions of Uridine?

    1 answer
    1. Following reconstitution, this material may be stored in aliquots at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Solutions prepared in water at pH 7 are stable for several days when stored refrigerated at 4 °C. The long term stability of frozen stock solutions has not been determined. In general, stock solutions stored at -20°C may be stable for several months.
