Deoxyguanosine monophosphate, also known as
deoxyguanylate, or
dGMP, is a derivative of the common
nucleic acid guanosine triphosphate (GTP), in which the –OH (
hydroxyl) group on the 2' carbon on the nucleotide's
pentose has been reduced to just a hydrogen atom (hence the "deoxy-" part of the name). It is used as a
monomer in
DNA.
