General description
Cytidine 5′-triphosphate is a nucleoside triphosphate with a pyrimidine ring. It is present in RNA.
Application
Cytidine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt has been used:
- for the conversion of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in luminometry analysis
- in the preparation of ribonucleotide 5′-triphosphate precursors stocks for large-scale RNA synthesis
- to perform in vitro transcription
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cytidine 5′-triphosphate (CTP) prevents the action of aspartate carbamoyltransferase. This enzyme participates in pyrimidine biosynthesis. Like adenosine triphosphate (ATP), CTP serves as a molecule of high energy. It acts as a coenzyme in glycerophospholipid biosynthesis and protein glycosylation.
P2X4 purinergic receptor agonist.
