Thioguanosine Diphosphate (CAS 16541-19-8)

Thioguanosine Diphosphate (6-TGP) is a small molecule that has garnered significant attention in the field of biochemistry.Extensive research has been conducted on 6-TGP due to its potential applications. Structurally resembling guanosine 5′-diphosphate (GDP), Thioguanosine Diphosphate is a purine derivative that plays a role in various biochemical processes. It contributes to protein, DNA, and RNA synthesis, and also participates in the regulation of gene expression. Moreover, Thioguanosine Diphosphate serves as a vital intermediate in the biosynthesis of thiamine, an essential vitamin. Functionally, 6-Thioguanosine 5′-diphosphate acts as an intermediate in thiamine biosynthesis, a critical vitamin. Furthermore, it serves as a substrate for the enzyme guanosine 5′-monophosphate (GMP) kinase, which catalyzes the phosphorylation of guanosine 5′-monophosphate (GMP) to form guanosine 5′-diphosphate (GDP). Additionally, 6-Thioguanosine 5′-diphosphate plays a role in gene expression regulation, as well as the synthesis of proteins, DNA, and RNA.
