Guanosine monophosphate
Guanosine monophosphate
, also known as
5'-guanidylic acid
or
guanylic acid
and abbreviated
GMP
, is a
nucleotide
that is used as a
monomer
in
RNA
. It is an
ester
of
phosphoric acid
with the
nucleoside
guanosine
. GMP consists of the
phosphate
group
, the
pentose
sugar
ribose
, and the
nucleobase
guanine
; hence it is a
ribonucleoside
monophosphate. Guanosine monophosphate is commercially produced by microbial fermentation.
