Product Description: 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine (Standard) is the analytical standard of 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine is a specific GTP cyclohydrolase I inhibitor (the rate-limiting enzyme in de novo pterin synthesis). 2,4-Diamino-6-hydroxypyrimidine blocks Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis and suppresses NO production[1][2].
Formula: C4H6N4O
