5-hme-CTP sodium salt is a modified form of cytidine triphosphate (CTP) with a hydroxymethyl group attached to the 5-position of the cytosine ring. This modification can impact the molecule's interactions with enzymes involved in nucleic acid synthesis and repair. It is used in biochemical research to study DNA methylation, epigenetic modifications, and nucleotide metabolism. The sodium salt form enhances its solubility and stability for various experimental purposes.
