Cytidine 5-monophosphate

Cytidine 5 monophosphate, also known as 5'-cytidylic acid and abbreviated CMP, is a small molecule belonging to the pyrimidine nucleotides family, that is a constituent of the nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are one of the four major classes of biological molecules (together with carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) that are essential for cellular metabolism.

In addition to being part of RNA, CMP also plays other key roles in the human body. It has a neuroregulatory effect in the physiological and pathological processes, an analgesic effect - it stimulates the receptors responsible for inhibition/blocking of pain stimuli transmitting the pain to the spinal cord, supports neuroregeneration (axons and myelin sheath growth), stimulates protein synthesis and Schwann cell proliferation.

Cytidine is also important for the membrane phospholipid synthesis.

Food sources rich in Cytidine 5'-monophosphate

CMP Cytidine 5'-monophosphate is found in every human body tissue, prostate, saliva and blood.

Dietary sources of cytidine include foods with high ribonucleic acid content, such as organ meats, beef and pork liver, salmon, sardines, as well as pyrimidine-rich foods such as brewer's yeast. During digestion, RNA-rich foods are broken-down into ribosyl pyrimidines (cytidine and uridine).

Cytidine can also be found in tomatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, oatmeal and various types of beans.
