Application

Uridine has been used to study the functional complementation of nucleoside hydrolase from a protozoan parasite and mammalian uridine phosphorylase on URH1 (uridine hydrolase) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
It has been used to check the effect of chronic uridine application on liver metabolism in mice.

General description

Uridine is a pyrimidine nucleoside which is crucial for the synthesis of RNA and membranes. It helps in normal cell function and growth by forming pyrimidine nucleotide -lipid conjugates.

African trypanosomes are capable of both pyrimidine biosynthesis and salvage of preformed pyrimidines from the host. However, uptake of pyrimidines in bloodstream form trypanosomes has not been investigated, making it difficult to judge the relative importance of salvage and synthesis
