Product Description
A diadenosine polyphosphate stored in secretory granules of chromaffin and neuronal cells and thrombocytes. After release into the extracellular space, the compound affects a variety of biological activities in a wide range of target tissues. In the nervous system it acts through various purinergic receptors. It also activates 5'-nucleotidase and inhibits adenosine kinase activity in vitro. Ap5A is metabolized by soluble enzymes in the blood plasma and by membrane-bound ectoenzymes of a number of cell types including endothelial and smooth muscle cells.
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as (5'->5')-dinucleotides. These are dinucleotides where the two bases are connected via a (5'->5')-phosphodiester linkage.
