Uracil is a pyrimidine nucleobase that plays several important roles in biological systems.
1. Uracil CAS 66-22-8 is one of the four bases in RNA (the other three are adenine, cytosine and guanine). During RNA synthesis, uracil pairs with adenine and plays a vital role in the storage and transmission of genetic information.
2. Uracil is involved in the synthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids. Uracil is a precursor for the synthesis of uridine triphosphate (UTP), CAS 66-22-8 is essential for various cellular processes, including energy metabolism and glycogen synthesis.
3. Uracil is used in molecular biology and biochemistry research, especially those involving RNA, gene expression and cellular metabolism.
4. Uracil CAS 66-22-8 and its derivatives are currently being investigated for potential therapeutic effects in various medical conditions, including cancer and viral infections.
5. Uracil is sometimes included in dietary supplements designed to support cellular metabolism and overall health.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store uracil CAS 66-22-8 safely and effectively.
1. Uracil 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 uracil CAS 66-22-8 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, uracil should be stored at low temperatures. If in powder form, refrigeration is ideal. If in solution, follow specific guidelines for solution stability.
4. When Uracil CAS 66-22-8 not in use, ensure that the container remains tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and goggles when handling Uracil 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. Uracil CAS 66-22-8 have appropriate spill control materials and safety equipment (e.g., fire extinguishers and eyewash stations) available in storage areas.
8. Dispose of uracil and any waste generated from its use in accordance with local regulations.
