Metabolite Identification
Common NameDeoxycytidine
Description2'-Deoxycytidine, also known as dC, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides. Pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleosides are compounds consisting of a pyrimidine linked to a ribose which lacks a hydroxyl group at position 2. 2'-Deoxycytidine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. 2'-Deoxycytidine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
