Description
Cytidine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt is a nucleoside triphosphate with a pyrimidine ring, which is present in RNA. It is a nucleotide derivative and is involved in phospholipid anabolism in vivo. It can cross the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. It is the intermediate product and energy source of cephalin synthesis and nucleic acid metabolism. It can also improve the stability and reconstruction ability of nerve cell membrane structure, support nerve cell survival, delay cell aging and death, and improve nerve cells. Injury resistance, promote neurite outgrowth.
Pharmacological action
Disodium cytidine triphosphate is a nucleotide derivative. It participates in phospholipid synthesis and metabolism in the body and can pass through the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. It is an intermediate product and energy source between cephalin synthesis and nucleic acid metabolism, and promotes the repair of liver cells after injury , for the myocardial and brain tissue caused by vascular sclerosis, nutrition, promote regeneration and repair.
Chemical Properties
White powder
Uses
Cytidine-5'-triphosphate disodium salt is a cation-permeable ligand gated ion channel (P2X purinergic receptor) agonist. It is also used as an organic intermediate, pharmaceutical intermediate, food additive and flavoring agent.
Uses
Cytidine 5'-triphosphate disodium salt is a pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphate salt that is involved in a variety of biochemical reactions. It is used in the synthesis of RNA by RNA polymerases. In the formation of phosphatidylcholine (PC), CTP reacts with phosphocholine, via CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferases, to produce CDP-choline and diphosphate. This is the rate-limiting step in PC synthesis and, as a pivotal step in cell proliferation, can be important in cancer. CTP also interacts with N-acylneuraminate, in a reaction mediated by N-acylneuraminate cytidylyltransferase, to generate an intermediate that is required for sialylation, namely CMP-N-acylneuraminic acid.[Cayman Chemical]
General Description
Cytidine 5′-triphosphate is a nucleoside triphosphate with a pyrimidine ring. It is present in RNA.
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.
