Identification
Name: Diadenosine tetraphosphate
Description:Diadenosine tetraphosphate (AP4A) is a diadenosine polyphosphate. APnAs isolated substances are Ap3A, Ap4A, Ap5A, and Ap6A. The APnAs were discovered in the mid-sixties in the course of studies on aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS). APnAs have emerged as intracellular and extracellular signalling molecules implicated in the maintenance and regulation of vital cellular functions and become considered as second messengers. It is an intermediate of purine metabolism pathway.
