Product Description
Deoxycytidine triphosphate trisodium salt (dCTP trisodium salt) is a nucleoside triphosphate that may be utilized in DNA synthesis. Deoxycytidine triphosphate trisodium salt may be utilized in real-time PCR, cDNA synthesis and DNA sequencing research.
Deoxycytidine triphosphate trisodium salt (dCTP trisodium salt, CAS 109909-44-6) is a nucleoside triphosphate that serves as a building block of DNA. It has the molecular formula C9H13N3Na3O13P3 and molecular weight of 533.10. dCTP is commonly used in PCR reaction mixtures as a substrate for DNA synthesis by DNA polymerases. It plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and repair and is essential for the maintenance of genetic information.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
DNA polymerases. dCTP serves as a substrate for DNA polymerases during DNA synthesis, providing the deoxycytidine moiety required for incorporation into growing DNA strands. It pairs with deoxyguanosine (dG) in the template strand through complementary base pairing. dCTP is also a substrate for other enzymes involved in nucleic acid metabolism.
ln Vitro
The study conducted growth factor fingerprinting of 1-beta-D-Arabic Syriac glycosyl clock pin (ara-C) and found that it was present in 13 cell lines generated from murine myeloma, myeloid tumor-like, and mastocytoma. The outer 100-fold folds into each other between the most and least sensitive spectra. The amount of cellular deoxycytidine triphosphate (2'-Deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate, dCTP) was discovered to be inversely linked with obesity[1], indicating that if cells are exposed to ara-C. Phosphoethanolamine glycol ester transferase uses deoxycytidine triphosphate trisodium salt as a substrate [2].
dCTP is a standard component in PCR reaction mixtures, providing the cytidine nucleotides required for DNA amplification. In vitro, dCTP is incorporated into newly synthesized DNA by DNA polymerases during primer extension. It is essential for the synthesis of DNA in various molecular biology applications including real-time PCR, cDNA synthesis, and DNA sequencing.
ln Vivo
dCTP is used in vivo as a substrate for DNA synthesis during cell division and DNA repair. It is an essential nucleotide for DNA replication in all living cells. In research applications, dCTP is used in various molecular biology techniques. The compound is available as a 100 mM solution for convenient use in laboratory settings.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays using dCTP typically involve DNA polymerase activity assays. The incorporation of dCTP into DNA can be monitored using radiolabeled dCTP (e.g., [α-32P]dCTP) or fluorescently labeled dCTP. DNA polymerases are incubated with a DNA template, primer, and dCTP along with other dNTPs (dATP, dGTP, dTTP). Polymerase activity is quantified by measuring incorporated radioactivity or fluorescence.
Cell Assay
In vitro cellular studies with dCTP are not typically performed because dCTP is a natural nucleotide that is taken up and metabolized by cells. However, cell-based assays may involve the use of dCTP analogs or modified dCTP derivatives to study DNA synthesis, nucleotide metabolism, or the effects of nucleotide analogs on cell proliferation. dCTP is commonly used in cell-free systems for DNA synthesis reactions.
Animal Protocol
dCTP is not administered to animals as a therapeutic agent but is used as a reagent in molecular biology research. In vivo, dCTP is a natural metabolite that is synthesized de novo or via salvage pathways. Exogenously administered dCTP would be rapidly metabolized by phosphatases and other enzymes. Animal studies using dCTP are not typical for this compound.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
dCTP trisodium salt has a molecular weight of 533.10 and molecular formula C9H13N3Na3O13P3. It is supplied as a colorless to light yellow liquid solution, typically at 100 mM concentration. The compound is stable when stored at -20°C. dCTP is highly soluble in water and aqueous buffers. Purity is typically ≥98% or higher.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
dCTP is a naturally occurring nucleotide with low toxicity. It is an essential cellular metabolite and is generally recognized as safe for use in molecular biology applications. When used as a reagent, standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed. No significant toxicity is associated with the use of dCTP in research settings at the concentrations typically employed.
