Adenine is a purine base that plays several important roles in biological systems.
1. Adenine CAS 73-24-5 is one of the four bases in DNA and RNA. It pairs with thymine in DNA and uracil in RNA, and plays a vital role in the storage and transmission of genetic information.
2. Adenine is a key component of adenosine triphosphate, which is the main energy carrier in cells. ATP is essential for various cellular processes, including muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and biochemical synthesis.
3. Adenine CAS 73-24-5 participates in cell signaling pathways. Adenine can be phosphorylated to form cyclic adenosine monophosphate. cAMP is a second messenger that plays a key role in signal transduction and the regulation of various physiological processes.
4. Adenine is used in molecular biology and biochemistry research, especially those involving nucleic acids, gene expression, and cellular metabolism.
5. Adenine CAS 73-24-5 is sometimes added to dietary supplements to enhance energy metabolism and support overall health.
6. Adenine and its derivatives are currently being investigated for their potential therapeutic effects in various medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative diseases.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store adenine CAS 73-24-5 safely and effectively.
1. Adenine use airtight containers made of materials compatible with biological compounds, such as glass or high-quality plastic. Make sure the container is specifically designed for chemical storage.
2. Store adenine CAS 73-24-5 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight and heat. Refrigeration is usually recommended for long-term storage (usually 2°C to 8°C or 36°F to 46°F).
3. For optimal stability, adenine should be stored at low temperatures. If in powder form, refrigeration is ideal. If in solution, follow specific guidelines for solution stability.
4. When Adenine CAS 73-24-5 not in use, ensure that the container remains tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles when handling this material.
5. Clearly label containers with contents, hazard warnings, and storage dates.
6. Regularly inspect storage areas and containers for signs of leaks, damage or degradation.
7. Adenine CAS 73-24-5 have appropriate spill control materials and safety equipment (e.g., fire extinguishers and eyewash stations) available in storage areas.
8. Please dispose of adenine and any waste generated during its use in accordance with local regulations.
