Guanosine 5’-diphosphate disodium salt
CAS NO: 14617-95-5
Guanosine 5’-diphosphate disodium salt is a nucleotide derivative and a key molecule in cellular metabolism. It plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including the synthesis of RNA and DNA, signal transduction, and energy transfer. Guanosine 5’-diphosphate (GDP) serves as a precursor for the synthesis of guanosine triphosphate (GTP), which is involved in multiple cellular functions as an energy source and as a signaling molecule.
Guanosine 5’-diphosphate disodium salt is commonly used in biochemical and biophysical research, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry, for studying cellular processes, enzyme kinetics, and nucleotide binding interactions. It is a valuable tool for investigating GTPases, G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and other molecular targets involved in cellular signaling pathways.
