Uridin-5'-(trihydrogen-diphosphat), Dinatriumsalz

BeschreibungUridine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt (UDP-Na2) is a potent, selective P2Y6 receptor native agonist (EC50=300 nM; pEC50=6.52 for human P2Y6 receptor). It is an endogenous metabolite, catalyzes the glucuronidation of a wide array of substrates and is used in nucleic acid (RNA) biosynthesis. It has also been used as a purinergic agonist, in order to study its effect on the flux of absorbed cations in cochlear outer sulcus cells (OSC) and vestibular migratory cells (VTC). UDP-Na2 has also been used to determine the activity of nucleoside diphosphatase (NDPase) in the rabbit retina.

VerwendenUridine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt is mainly used in nucleic acid (RNA) biosynthesis and cell signalling studies. Uridine-5'-monophosphate disodium salt (UDP-MS) is a structural analogue of uridine and is used as a dietary supplement. It has been shown to inhibit phosphodiesterase and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase, both of which are enzymes that degrade the secondary messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).

VerwendenUridine-5'-diphosphate disodium salt (UDP-Na2) is an organometallic compound, It is a P2Y6 receptor agonist and GPR105 receptor inhibitor. It is used in studies on nucleic acid (RNA) biosynthesis and cell signaling. UDP is a nucleotide that upon phosphorylation to UTP becomes a substrate for enzymes such as RNA polymerase(s) and GTPases. These enzymes are involved in a wide range of applications from the synthesis of RNA to the regulation of G-coupled Protein Receptors (GPCR) and cell signaling molecules such as Rho-signaling via Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factors (GEF).
