CAS 102783-51-7: Cytidine 5′-(tetrahydrogen triphosphate), 2′-deoxy-, sodium salt (1:2)
Description:Cytidine 5′-(tetrahydrogen triphosphate), 2′-deoxy-, sodium salt (1:2), commonly referred to as dCTP, is a nucleotide that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and DNA synthesis. It is a derivative of cytidine, consisting of a cytosine base, a ribose sugar, and a triphosphate group. The sodium salt form indicates that sodium ions are associated with the molecule, which can influence its solubility and stability in aqueous solutions. dCTP is essential for DNA polymerization, serving as a substrate for DNA polymerases during DNA replication and repair processes. Its structure allows it to participate in the formation of phosphodiester bonds, linking nucleotides together in a growing DNA strand. The compound is typically stored as a white to off-white powder and is soluble in water. In laboratory settings, it is often used in molecular biology applications, including PCR and sequencing, due to its role in providing the necessary building blocks for nucleic acid synthesis.
