Descriptor English: 5-Methylcytosine
Descriptor Spanish: 5-Metilcitosina
Descriptor 5-metilcitosina
Scope note: Nucleótido metilado presente en el ADN de eucariotas. En los ANIMALES, la METILACIÓN DE ADN de la CITOSINA da lugar a la 5-metilcitosina, que se halla principalmente en la secuencia palindrómica CpG. En las PLANTAS, la secuencia metilada es CpNpGp, donde N puede ser una base.
