General description

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate (dUTP) is incorporated into DNA during DNA synthesis. It is one of the main intermediate during pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis. It is one of the sources of uracil in DNA. Deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase suppresses the incorporation of dUTP into DNA. It converts dUTP to 2′-deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate (dUMP).

Application

2′-Deoxyuridine 5′-triphosphate sodium salt solution has been used in the mouse genomic DNA amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). It is also suitable for conjunction with uracil DNA glycosylase to prevent carryover contamination in PCR. The dUTP is substituted for dTTP in the PCR reaction.

Polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) synthesize abundant amplification products. Contamination of new PCRs with trace amounts of these products, called carry-over contamination, yields false positive results. Carry-over contamination from some previous PCR can be a significant problem, due both to the
