Description
A deoxyribonucleotide; formed via phosphorylation of deoxycytidine by deoxycytidine kinase in the cytosol or TK2 in mitochondria; phosphorylated by UMP-CMP kinase to form dCDP during nucleic acid synthesis; decreases hydroxyurea-induced neuroepithelial cell necrosis in embryonic mouse spinal cord when administered to pregnant dams at 700 mg/kg; oral administration in combination with dTMP increases lifespan in Tk2 H126N knock-in (Tk2-/-) mouse model of TK2 deficiency.
