:5'-Adenylic acid, monosodium salt
Description:
5'-Adenylic acid, monosodium salt, commonly known as AMP (adenosine monophosphate), is a nucleotide that plays a crucial role in cellular metabolism. It consists of an adenine base, a ribose sugar, and a phosphate group, with the sodium salt form enhancing its solubility in aqueous solutions. AMP is a key component in energy transfer, serving as a building block for RNA synthesis and participating in various biochemical pathways, including the synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and cyclic AMP (cAMP), which are vital for cellular signaling. The substance is typically a white to off-white powder, highly soluble in water, and exhibits a slightly acidic pH in solution. Its stability can be influenced by factors such as temperature and pH, making it essential to store it under appropriate conditions to maintain its integrity. In biological systems, AMP can act as a signaling molecule, indicating the energy status of the cell, and is involved in regulating metabolic processes.
