5-Bromouridine 5′-triphosphate sodium salt, also known as BrUTP, is a modified nucleotide that has gained significant popularity in scientific research for investigating RNA transcription and processing. This fluorescently-labeled nucleotide is capable of being integrated into RNA during transcription, facilitating the monitoring of RNA synthesis and processing within live cells. By substituting uridine triphosphate (UTP) during transcription, 5-Bromouridine 5′-triphosphate sodium salt becomes part of the RNA molecule. Its presence can then be identified using either fluorescent microscopy or flow cytometry. The fluorescence emitted by 5-Bromouridine 5′-triphosphate sodium salt enables researchers to effectively monitor the synthesis and processing of RNA in living cells.
