Nucleotides and Their Functions
- Cyclic AMP (cAMP) functions as a second messenger for hormones, transmitting signals from hormone receptors to target cell responses.
- S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) acts as an active methyl donor, crucial for methylation processes and transferring methyl groups in various biochemical reactions.
- Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is consumed in energy reactions, serving as the primary energy currency of the cell.
- Coenzyme A (CoA) plays a key role as a carrier of fatty acids, facilitating their transport and metabolism in the body.
- Uridine diphosphate glucose (UDP-glucose) is used for the synthesis of glycogen and glucuronic acid, crucial for carbohydrate metabolism and detoxification.
- S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) is associated with the synthesis of sulfur-containing compounds, important for various biochemical pathways.
- Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) is also involved in energy transfer and serves as a second messenger in some signaling pathways.
