Common Name(s): Sodium stearoyl dna,sodium stearoyl dna,nucleic acid salt,cell communication molecule

CAS Number: N/a

DESCRIPTION

What It Does: Provides nucleobase delivery for adenosine receptor stimulation, nad+ precursor contribution, and cellular energy metabolism support.

Why It's Used: Sodium dna is selected for nucleic acid-mediated cell communication — dna fragments activate toll-like receptor signalling and provide purine/pyrimidine bases as nad+ and energy cofactor precursors for skin cell metabolism.

How It Works: Dna/nucleobase fragment: tlr activation → interferon signalling or adenosine a2a receptor → collagen fibroblast stimulation; nad+ precursor → cellular energy metabolism.

Typically Found In: Anti-aging,cell communication
