Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Cytidine 5′-triphosphate is a nucleoside triphosphate with a pyrimidine ring. It is present in RNA._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Cytidine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt has been used:_x000D_ • for the conversion of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) in luminometry analysis(51)_x000D_ • in the preparation of ribonucleotide 5′-triphosphate precursors stocks for large-scale RNA synthesis(52)_x000D_ • to perform in vitro transcription(53)_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ 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._x000D_ P2X4 purinergic receptor agonist._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ This compound is featured on the P2 Receptors: P2X Ion Channel Family page of the Handbook of Receptor Classification and Signal Transduction.
