13C20,15N10-Cyclic di-GMP (sodium salt)

¹³C₂₀,¹⁵N₁₀-Cyclic di-GMP is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of cyclic di-GMP by GC- or LC-MS. Cyclic di-GMP is a second messenger in bacteria involved in diverse prokaryotic processes, including biofilm formation, motility, virulence, and cell cycling.^1,2 In eukaryotic cells, cyclic di-GMP is detected by and binds to the transmembrane protein stimulator of interferon genes (STING; K_d = 1.21 µM), leading to activation of the innate immune system.^3,4 It has been used at a preset molar ratio with STING dimers in binding assays to determine the binding constants of particularly tight binding partners, such as 2’3’-cGAMP. Cyclic di-GMP induces IFN-β mRNA expression in vitro (EC₅₀ = 537.8 nM) but less potently than 2’3’-cGAMP , 3’2’-cGAMP, 3’3’-cGAMP , and 2’2’-cGAMP .
