Uridine triphosphate
Based on 4 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Uridine triphosphate (UTP; Uridine 5'-triphosphate) is a pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphate that is used as a substrate to synthesize RNA or as an energy source in metabolic reactions. Uridine triphosphate activates membrane-bound P2Y2 receptors.
The free form of the compound is prone to instability, it is advisable to consider the stable salt form (Uridine triphosphate trisodium salt) that retains the same biological activity.

In Vitro
Uridine triphosphate enhances the migration and wound repair of RT4-D6P2T cells by activating the P2Y2 receptor and increasing the activation and expression of extracellular MMP-2[2].
Uridine triphosphate induces MAPK phosphorylation in a biphasic manner. It causes early transient phosphorylation within 5 minutes after treatment, and late persistent phosphorylation occurs 6 hours later, lasting for up to 24 hours[2].
