Cytidine is a pyrimidine nucleoside that is composed of the pyrimidine base cytosine attached to the sugar ribose. As a constituent of RNA, cytidine pairs with guanine, and it is a precursor of uridine. Cytidine can incur several modifications in mRNA, including methylation and acetylation, that function to regulate translation.
