Description
  • Epigenetic base.
  • A modified pyrimidine that is capable of producing interstrand cross-links in double-stranded DNA and has been used to quantify DNA hydroxymethylation levels in biological samples.
  • Enriched in the brain, suggesting a role in epigenetic control of neuronal function.
  • Used in epigenetic research and important for cancer research.
  • Potent HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity inhibitor.
  • Can be used as building block in nucleoside and nucleotide chemistry.
