5-Methoxy-CTP

5-Methoxy-CTP is a modified cytidine triphosphate (CTP) containing a methoxy group at the 5 position of the cytosine ring. This modification significantly alters the chemical properties and biological functions of the nucleotide. During in vitro mRNA synthesis, 5-Methoxy-CTP can be incorporated into RNA molecules to generate RNA that contains 5-methoxycytidine. Such methoxy modifications play an essential role in studying RNA structure, function, and its interactions with proteins. Additionally, 5-Methoxy-CTP notably improves RNA stability and reduces RNA degradation within cells. Thus, this modification finds extensive applications in gene expression research, RNA-based drug development, and gene therapy.
