Product Information

• Name: N6-Ethenoadenine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: N6-Ethenoadenine is a nucleoside that is generated during DNA repair. It is formed by the enzymatic activity of the enzyme N6-adenosyltransferase in the presence of ATP and S-adenosylmethionine. It has been shown to be a potent inducer of DNA damage and mutagenesis, as well as an inhibitor of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA replication. N6-Ethenoadenine is also an agonist for P2Y receptors, which are important in chemical biology. This nucleoside may serve as a potential biomarker for genotoxic events, such as chemotherapy treatments or exposure to ionizing radiation.
