2'-Deoxycytidine (deoxyC) is one of the deoxynucleosides which after phosphorylation to dCTP is used to synthesis DNA via various DNA polymerases or reverse transcriptases.

2'-Deoxycytidine (deoxyC) is the substrate for deoxycytidine deaminase (EC 3.5.4.14) which converts it into 2?-deoxyuridine.

2'-Deoxycytidine is phosphorylated to the nucleotide dCMP by the enzyme deoxycytidine kinase (DCK).
