Uridine 5’-triphosphate disodium salt | 285978-18-9
Product Description
Uridine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt (UTP disodium) is a chemical compound derived from uridine, a nucleoside important in nucleic acid metabolism and cellular signaling. Here's a brief description:
Chemical Structure: UTP disodium consists of uridine, comprising the pyrimidine base uracil and the five-carbon sugar ribose, linked to three phosphate groups at the 5' carbon of the ribose. The disodium salt form enhances its solubility in aqueous solutions.
Biological Role: UTP disodium participates in various cellular processes:
RNA Synthesis: UTP is one of the four ribonucleoside triphosphates (NTPs) used during transcription to synthesize RNA. It is incorporated into the RNA strand complementary to the DNA template.
Nucleotide Metabolism: UTP is an essential component of nucleic acids, contributing to the synthesis of RNA molecules.
Energy Metabolism: UTP is involved in cellular energy metabolism, serving as a precursor for the synthesis of other nucleotides and energy carriers such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and guanosine triphosphate (GTP).
Physiological Functions
RNA Structure and Function: UTP contributes to the structural integrity and stability of RNA molecules. It participates in RNA folding, secondary structure formation, and interactions with proteins and other molecules.
Cellular Signaling: UTP-containing molecules may act as signaling molecules, influencing cellular processes and pathways involved in gene expression, cell growth, and differentiation.
Research and Therapeutic Applications
UTP and its derivatives are used in biochemical and molecular biology research to study RNA synthesis, structure, and function. They are also employed in cell culture experiments and in vitro assays.
UTP supplementation has been explored for potential therapeutic applications in conditions affecting nucleic acid metabolism, RNA synthesis, and cellular signaling.
Administration: In laboratory settings, UTP disodium is typically dissolved in aqueous solutions for experimental use. Its solubility in water makes it suitable for various applications in cell culture, biochemical assays, and molecular biology experiments.
