General description

2′-Deoxycytidine 5′-triphosphate (dCTP) is a cytidine analog. It is composed of a nucleobase attached to deoxyribose and a 5′-hydroxyl on the sugar bound to a chain of three phosphate residues. dCTP is utilized by cells for DNA polymerase catalyzed synthesis of DNA.

Application

2′-Deoxycytidine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt has been used:
  • in reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT -PCR).
  • to study the mutations in HBB gene via amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR
  • to C-tail the end-repaired DNA
2′-Deoxycytidine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt is one of the nucleoside triphosphates used for DNA polymerase driven reactions such as polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing and other molecular biology methods.
