    Product Description

    1-Methyladenosine is a modified nucleoside generated by the processing of tRNA by methyltransferases.1,2,3 Urine and serum levels of 1-methyladenosine are elevated in several forms of cancer.4,5,6,7 Urine levels of 1-methyladenosine also increase during active rheumatoid arthritis.8

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
