Orotic acid (zinc) (Standard)

Orotic acid (zinc) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Orotic acid (zinc) . This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Orotic acid (zinc), a precursor in biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides and RNA, is released from the mitochondrial dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) for conversion to UMP by the cytoplasmic UMP synthase enzyme. Orotic acid (zinc) is a marker for measurement in routine newborn screening for urea cycle disorders. Orotic acid (zinc) can induce hepatic steatosis and hepatomegaly in rats[1][2][3].
