5-Methylcytosine (Standard)
5-Methylcytosine (Standard) is the analytical standard of 5-Methylcytosine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 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].
