Descriptor inosina
Scope note: Nucleósido de purina que lleva unida una hipoxantina en el nitrógeno N9 al carbono C1 de la ribosa. Es un producto intermediario en la degradacion de las purinas y los nucleósidos de purina a ácido úrico en el proceso de rescate de purina. También se encuentra en el anticodón de determinadas moléculas de transferencia de ARN. (Dorland, 28th ed)

Scope note: A purine nucleoside that has hypoxanthine linked by the N9 nitrogen to the C1 carbon of ribose. It is an intermediate in the degradation of purines and purine nucleosides to uric acid and in pathways of purine salvage. It also occurs in the anticodon of certain transfer RNA molecules.
