Product Information

• Name: 5-Methylcytosine hydrochloride salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Methylcytosine hydrochloride salt is a metabolite of cytosine that occurs naturally in the body. It is used as an inhibitor of DNA methylation to study the effect of this process on gene expression. 5-Methylcytosine hydrochloride salt has been shown to inhibit the production of growth factors, such as insulin-like growth factor 1, and radiation energy. It also causes oxidative damage to DNA and inhibits the oxidation of urea nitrogen in lettuce. The matrix effect may interfere with the analysis of 5-methylcytosine hydrochloride salt by spectrometry.
