Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Product Description
Application:
UTP has been used as a P2 receptor activator to study its effects on proton efflux in MC3T3-E1 and UMR-106 cells. UTP has also been studied in combination with amiloride hydrochloride in nebulizer solutions for treating cystic fibrosis. Uridine 5′-triphosphate has been used in a study to show that fluoxetine (FLX), mediates its anti-depressive effect by increasing the gliotransmission of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP).
This compound belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pyrimidine ribonucleoside triphosphates. These are pyrimidine ribobucleotides with triphosphate group linked to the ribose moiety.
