Description

7-methyladenine is an alkylated purine base found in DNA and RNA. It is formed by the methylation of adenine at the N7 position, catalyzed by various methyltransferases. The presence of 7-methyladenine in DNA has been linked to various cellular processes, including gene regulation, DNA replication, and repair. In RNA, 7-methyladenine is involved in the regulation of translation and stability of mRNA. Studies on 7-methyladenine have focused on its role in cancer development, DNA damage response, and the development of novel therapeutic agents. The compound has been investigated for its potential use as a biomarker for cancer detection and as a target for anticancer drugs. Furthermore, research on 7-methyladenine is vital for understanding the intricate mechanisms governing DNA and RNA methylation, crucial for cellular function and disease progression.'
