| Targets |
5-BrUTP sodium salt targets nascent RNA during transcription. It serves as a substrate for RNA polymerases and is incorporated into newly synthesized RNA in place of uridine triphosphate (UTP). The bromine atom provides a unique epitope that can be detected immunologically with specific antibodies. This enables visualization and quantification of RNA synthesis in cells.

|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
5-BrUTP sodium salt is used as a labeling reagent for measuring RNA transcription in vitro. The compound is incorporated into RNA during transcription reactions. Incorporated 5-BrUTP can be detected immunologically with antibodies. The labeling does not significantly interfere with transcription or RNA function. The compound is widely used in studies of RNA synthesis, processing, and dynamics.
|
| ln Vivo |
5-BrUTP sodium salt is used in vivo for labeling RNA to measure transcription. RNA or cells labeled via 5-BrUTP incorporation may be detected immunologically with antibodies. The compound can be delivered to cells or tissues for labeling nascent RNA. This allows monitoring of RNA synthesis and processing in living cells and tissues. The labeling approach is widely used in studies of transcriptional regulation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro transcription assays using 5-BrUTP sodium salt involve setting up transcription reactions with RNA polymerase, template DNA, nucleoside triphosphates (including 5-BrUTP instead of UTP), and appropriate buffer conditions. Reactions are incubated at appropriate temperature (typically 37degC) for 1-2 hours. The resulting 5-BrUTP-labeled RNA can be detected by dot blot, Northern blot, or ELISA using anti-BrUTP antibodies.
|
| Cell Assay |
In vitro cellular assays for 5-BrUTP sodium salt involve treating cells with the compound to label newly synthesized RNA. Cells are incubated with 5-BrUTP (typically 0.1-1 mM range) for 1-4 hours. Labeled RNA is detected by immunocytochemistry using anti-BrUTP antibodies, followed by fluorescence microscopy. Alternatively, labeled RNA can be purified and quantified by ELISA or detected by flow cytometry. Incorporation efficiency is assessed by comparison with controls.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo animal studies with 5-BrUTP sodium salt typically involve administration of the compound to label nascent RNA in tissues. The compound can be injected locally or systemically, and tissues are harvested at various time points. Labeled RNA is detected by immunohistochemistry using anti-BrUTP antibodies. This approach enables assessment of transcriptional activity in specific tissues or cell types. The compound is not used for therapeutic purposes.
|

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).
