CAS 116295-90-0: Uridine 5'-triphosphate trisodium salt dihydrate
Description:Uridine 5'-triphosphate trisodium salt dihydrate (UTP) is a nucleotide that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism and signaling. It is composed of a uridine base, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups, which contribute to its high-energy properties. As a trisodium salt, it is typically soluble in water, making it useful in various biochemical applications, including RNA synthesis and as a substrate for RNA polymerases. The dihydrate form indicates the presence of two water molecules associated with each molecule of UTP, which can influence its stability and solubility. UTP is involved in several metabolic pathways, including those related to energy transfer and signal transduction. Its structure allows it to participate in the synthesis of RNA and the regulation of various cellular processes. Additionally, UTP can act as a signaling molecule in purinergic signaling pathways, influencing physiological responses in various tissues. Overall, UTP is an essential compound in biochemistry, with significant implications for cellular function and metabolism.
