Deoxycytidine diphosphate


Deoxycytidine diphosphate is a nucleoside diphosphate. It is related to the common nucleic acid CTP, or cytidine triphosphate, with the -OH group on the 2' carbon on the nucleotide's pentose removed, and with one fewer phosphoryl group than CTP.
2'-deoxycytidine diphosphate is abbreviated as dCDP.
