Topic: Uridine triphosphate


  
  5-METHYLURIDINE (RIBOSYLTHYMINE)
Uridine Triphosphate (UTP): a nucleotide, the 5'-triphosphate of uridine; acting as a precursor in the synthesis of ribonucleic acid and of UDP-linked intermediates.
Deoxyuridine Diphosphate (dUDP): a nucleotide, the 5'-phosphate of deoxyuridine; an intermediate in the synthesis of deoxythymidine triphosphate.
Deoxyuridine Triphosphate (dUTP): a nucleotide, the 5'-triphosphate of deoxyuridine; an intermediate in the synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides.

 Olympus Microscopy Resource Center: Polarized Light Microscopy Gallery - Uridine
Uridine is one of four nucleosides used in genetic coding for RNA, and its complement is the nucleoside adenosine.
Each molecule of uridine is comprised of 9 carbons, 12 hydrogens, 2 nitrogens, and 6 oxygen atoms, resulting in a molecular weight of 244.20.
When certain uridine derivatives are, for instance, utilized with organ transplant procedures, the likelihood of organ rejection by the recipient is reduced due to immune system repression.

 Adenosine triphosphate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the nucleotide known in biochemistry as the "molecular currency" of intracellular energy transfer; that is, ATP is able to store and transport chemical energy within cells.
Living cells also have other "high-energy" nucleoside triphosphates, such as guanosine triphosphate.
Between them and ATP, energy can be easily transferred with reactions such as those catalyzed by nucleoside diphosphokinase: Energy is released when hydrolysis of the phosphate-phosphate bonds is carried out.

 AllRefer.com - uracil (Biochemistry) - Encyclopedia
When combined with the sugar ribose in a glycosidic linkage, uracil forms a derivative called uridine (a nucleoside), which in turn can be phosphorylated with from one to three phosphoric acid groups, yielding respectively the three nucleotides UMP (uridine monophosphate), UDP (uridine diphosphate), and UTP (uridine triphosphate).
The analogous nucleosides and nucleotides formed from uridine and deoxyribose occur only very rarely in living systems; such is not the case with the other pyrimidines.
The nucleotide derivatives of uracil perform important functions in cellular metabolism, particularly in carbohydrate metabolism; UTP acts as a coenzyme in the biosynthesis of sucrose in plants, lactose and glycogen in mammals, and chitin in insects.

 Nucleotide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nucleotides also play important roles in cellular energy transport and transformations (notably ATP and NAD+/NADH), and in enzyme regulation (see for example, protein kinase).
The nucleobase can be purines or pyrimidines, the sugar can be deoxyribose in DNA or ribose in RNA, and the phosphate chain can be a monophosphate, diphosphate, or triphosphate.
A nucleotide that lacks the phosphate group is called nucleoside.
