5-Methylcytosine
- CAS No.: 554-01-8
- Formula:C5H7N3O
- Molecular Weight:125.13
IUPAC Name: 6-amino-5-methylpyrimidin-2(1H)-one
InChIKey: LRSASMSXMSNRBT-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: O=C1N=CC(C)=C(N)N1
Biological Activity: 5-Methylcytosine is a well-characterized DNA modification in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. 5-Methylcytosine forms symmetrical methylation on CpG dinucleotides in DNA, stabilizes tRNA/rRNA structure in RNA, and affects mRNA translation. 5-Methylcytosine can be oxidized to generate 5hmC, 5fC, and 5caC. 5-Methylcytosine can be used in epigenetics, developmental biology, and the study of diseases such as colorectal cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma[1][2][3][4].
