dCTP, 100 mM Solution is 2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate (dCTP) listed as a 100 mM aqueous solution of the trisodium salt. Key identifiers include CAS 109909-44-6, molecular formula C9H13N3Na3O13P3, and molecular weight 533.10 (PubChem CID 53486366).
dCTP is one of the four canonical deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs). DNA polymerases catalyze the template-directed polymerization of dNTP substrates onto the 3'-end of a growing DNA primer strand, so dCTP supplies the cytosine (C) residue during enzymatic DNA synthesis — for example in PCR, primer extension, DNA sequencing, and nick translation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is dCTP used for?
dCTP is the cytosine deoxynucleoside triphosphate. DNA polymerases use it as a substrate to add cytosine (C) residues during enzymatic, template-directed DNA synthesis — for example in PCR, primer extension, sequencing, and nick translation.
