Deoxyadenosine monophosphate

Deoxyadenosine monophosphate, also known as deoxyadenylic acid or 2'-dAMP, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside monophosphates. These are purine nucleotides with monophosphate group linked to the ribose moiety lacking a hydroxyl group at position 2. Deoxyadenosine monophosphate is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Deoxyadenosine monophosphate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, deoxyadenosine monophosphate participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, deoxyadenosine monophosphate can be converted into dADP through the action of the enzyme adenylate kinase isoenzyme 1. In addition, deoxyadenosine monophosphate can be converted into deoxyadenosine; which is mediated by the enzyme cytosolic purine 5'-nucleotidase. In humans, deoxyadenosine monophosphate is involved in the metabolic disorder called the gout or kelley-seegmiller syndrome pathway. A purine 2'-deoxyribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate having adenine as the nucleobase. Deoxyadenosine monophosphate is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.
