Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Deoxyadenosine is a purine nucleoside composed of adenine linked to deoxyribose. It is a fundamental substrate for DNA synthesis and is phosphorylated to dATP. Elevated intracellular levels of dATP inhibit ribonucleotide reductase and trigger apoptosis in lymphocytes—central to adenosine‑deaminase deficiency pathology.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in DNA‑synthesis modelling, purine‑metabolism research, immunodeficiency pathway studies, enzyme‑kinetic assays and nucleoside‑transport investigations.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include metabolic imbalance, lymphotoxicity at high concentrations and irritation upon exposure. Handle with biochemical‑substrate precautions.
