What is 2'-DEOXY-CYTIDINE-5'-TRIPHOSPHATE LITHIUM SALT?

The Uses of 2'-DEOXY-CYTIDINE-5'-TRIPHOSPHATE LITHIUM SALT

Isotope labelled 2’-Deoxycytidine 5’-Triphosphate Triethylamine, a labelled metabolite of 2’-Deoxycytidine, a nucleoside triphosphate that is used whenever DNA is synthesized, such as in the polymerase chain reaction.

Definition

ChEBI: DCTP is a 2'-deoxycytidine phosphate having cytosine as the nucleobase. It has a role as a human metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a 2'-deoxycytidine phosphate and a pyrimidine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-triphosphate. It is a conjugate acid of a dCTP(3-).

Biological Activity

Deoxycytidine triphosphate (dCTP) is a nucleoside triphosphate that can be used in DNA synthesis. Deoxycytidine triphosphate can be used in real-time PCR, cDNA synthesis and DNA sequencing research.

in vitro

Assays of thirteen cell lines, derived from mouse lymphomas, myelomas, myeloid tumors, and a mastocytoma, for sensitivity to growth inhibition by 1-β-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C) revealed a spectrum between the most and least sensitive which differed 100-fold from each other. An inverse correlation between sensitivity and cellular Deoxycytidine triphosphate (2′-Deoxycytidine-5′-triphosphate, dCTP) content is found, and this suggested that sensitivity of cells might be increased if the dCTP content was lowered during cell exposure to ara-C.
Deoxycytidine triphosphate trisodium salt is a phosphoethanolamine cytidylyltransferase substrate.
