CAS 102029-95-8: adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate sodium
Description:Adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate sodium (APS) is a chemical compound that serves as an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of sulfate esters and plays a crucial role in various biochemical processes. It is a nucleotide derivative, consisting of adenosine linked to a phosphate group and a sulfate group. APS is typically found as a sodium salt, which enhances its solubility in aqueous solutions, making it useful in biological and biochemical applications. The compound is involved in the sulfate activation pathway, where it acts as a donor of sulfate groups in the synthesis of sulfated biomolecules. APS is also utilized in research and industrial applications, particularly in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology, for its role in enzymatic reactions and as a substrate for sulfotransferases. Its stability and reactivity under physiological conditions make it a valuable tool for studying sulfate metabolism and related processes. As with many chemical substances, proper handling and storage are essential to maintain its integrity and effectiveness in experimental settings.
