Uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP), also known as uridylic acid, is a nucleotide composed of a ribose sugar, a phosphate group, and the nitrogenous base uridine. It is an essential molecule involved in various biological processes, including nucleic acid synthesis and metabolism. UMP is a building block for RNA synthesis and plays a critical role in cellular signaling and neurotransmission.
