Pterine (CAS 2236-60-4)
QUICK LINKS
Pterine, a naturally occurring compound found in plants, animals, and bacteria, holds significant importance as a cofactor in various biochemical pathways. It plays a vital role in the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrate metabolism, and lipid metabolism. Additionally, Pterine contributes to gene expression regulation and signal transduction processes. Regarding its mechanisms of action, Pterine acts as a cofactor in biochemical pathways that govern nucleic acid and protein synthesis, as well as carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. It also actively participates in gene expression regulation and signal transduction. In the context of gene expression, Pterine binds to DNA and functions as a transcription factor, modulating gene expression levels. During signal transduction, Pterine binds to cell surface receptors, triggering activation or inhibition of receptor activity, ultimately influencing cellular functions.
