Definition: Adenosine |
AdenosineNoun1. (biochemistry) a nucleoside that is present in all living cells in a combined form; a constituent of DNA and RNA and ATP and AMP. Source: WordNet 1.7.1 Copyright © 2001 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. |

Health | A nucleoside that is composed of adenine and d-ribose. Adenosine or adenosine derivatives play many important biological roles in addition to being components of DNA and RNA. Adenosine itself is a neurotransmitter. (references) |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Adenosine plays an important role in biochemical processes, such as energy transfer - as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) - as well as in signal transduction as cyclic adenosine monophosphate, cAMP.
If adenine is attached to a deoxyribose ring, it is known as a deoxyadenosine.
