Adenosine, Free Base (Highly Pure) by Molecular Depot is a adenosine free base, the nucleoside of adenine and ribose. Adenosine accumulates wherever cells are consuming ATP faster than they can make it, which is why it acts as a signal of metabolic stress and dilates blood vessels in the tissue that produced it. It is used as a substrate and standard in nucleoside metabolism assays, as a building block in nucleotide synthesis and in purinergic signalling research. Each unit contains 100 g. MBP supplies Molecular Depot enzyme reagents to research labs in the United States, Canada and worldwide.
