Chemical Properties
White powder
Uses
7-Methylguanosine has been used in the removal of residual phosphates from pre rigor solution, phosphate mop system and phosphorous standard solution.
Definition
ChEBI: A positively charged methylguanosine in which a single methyl substituent is located at position 7.
General Description
7-Methylguanosine structure is also referred to as a cap. It is located on the 5′ end of the cytoplasmic mRNA.
Biochem/physiol Actions
7-Methylguanosine is involved in the processing of a cap-dependent translational process of mRNA. It is also involved in protecting the mRNA from degradation due to ribonucleases and mediate nuclear export. 7-Methylguanosine also permits the recruitment of ribosome.
