5-Bromouridine 5′-triphosphate sodium (BrUTP) is a modified nucleotide that has found extensive application in scientific research for the investigation of RNA transcription and processing. As a fluorescently-labeled nucleotide, BrUTP can be integrated into RNA during transcription, enabling the monitoring of RNA synthesis and processing within live cells. Serving as an analog of uridine, BrUTP facilitates the measurement of transcription by labeling ribonucleic acids (RNA). Its utilization has contributed to the examination of gene expression regulation, RNA splicing, and RNA transport. During transcription, BrUTP replaces uridine triphosphate (UTP) and becomes part of the RNA molecule. Subsequently, fluorescent microscopy or flow cytometry can be employed to detect the presence of BrUTP in the RNA structure.
