Description
Uridine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt is a potent, selective P2Y6 receptor native agonist (EC50=300 nM; pEC50=6.52 for human P2Y6 receptor). Uridine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt, an endogenous metabolite, catalyzes the glucuronidation of a wide array of substrates and is used in nucleic acid (RNA) biosynthesis.
Uses
Uridine 5''-Diphosphate Sodium Salt is a potentially useful P2Y receptor agonist. It can be used in biological study and use in chemical screening methods to identify ligands that promote protein stability, protein crystallization, and structure determination.
Uses
A phosphorylated derivative of the nucleoside Uridine. It is further phosphorylated by nucleoside diphosphokinase to form the triphosphate analogue.
Biochem/physiol Actions
P2Y receptor agonist.
in vitro
Uridine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt (100 μM; for 15 min) significantly induces microglial CCL2 and CCL3 mRNA expression.
