Product Information

• Name: 7-Methylpterin
• Synonyms: 2-Amino-7-methyl-4(3H)-pteridinone2-Amino-7-methyl-4(1H)-pteridinoneNSC 24512
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 7-Methylpterin is an intermediate in the synthesis of sepiapterin, which is a cofactor for tetrahydrofolate (THF) synthase. Sepiapterin is synthesized from two molecules of 7-methylpterin and one molecule of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The enzyme preparations for this reaction are glycosidases, phosphoglycerate kinase, and glycerate kinase. This product has been found to be active at acidic pHs and can serve as a fluorescent probe for acid analysis.
