Revvity Guanosine 5-triphosphate, , (GTP,)

Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) is a purine nucleotide. It can act as a substrate for the synthesis of RNA during the transcription process. It also has the role of a source of energy or an activator of substrates in metabolic reactions, like that of ATP, but more specific. It is used as a source of energy for protein synthesis. GTP is essential to signal transduction.

1mCi quantities of [8-3H]-GTP are available for your research. Application of [3H]GTP can be found in: mitochondrial uncoupling proteins in vitro and in vivo in membrane transport biophysics, stimulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity (interaction with serotonergic systems) in neuropharmacology, factors affecting platelet cyclic GMP levels during aggregation induced by collagen and by arachidonic acid
