Description

Application

Uridine 5′-triphosphate trisodium salt solution has been used to increase the intracellular Ca²⁺ levels in rat primary tracheal epithelial cells.[1] It has also been used as a nucleotide substrate to analyze the activity of MutT homologue 1 (MTH1).[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

P2Y receptor agonist

Uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP) is released during nerve injury and acts as an agonist of the purinergic P2Y2 receptors present on the surface of Schwann cells.

UTP plays a crucial role in the process of transcription by participating in the synthesis of RNA.[3] It is associated with glycogen synthesis, protein glycosylation, and membrane phospholipid biosynthesis. UTP is involved in the production of ATP, which is essential for metabolic reactions.[3]
