Uridine 5’-triphosphate trisodium salt | 19817-92-6
Product Description
Uridine 5’-triphosphate trisodium salt (UTP trisodium) is a chemical compound derived from uridine, a nucleoside crucial in nucleic acid metabolism and cellular signaling. Here's a brief description:
Chemical Structure: UTP trisodium 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 trisodium salt form indicates the presence of three sodium ions, enhancing its solubility in aqueous solutions.
Biological Role: UTP trisodium is involved 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: UTPis an essential component of nucleic acids, contributing to the synthesis of RNA molecules.
Energy Metabolism: UTPis 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.
