Notes: Adenosine is a purine nucleoside composed of adenine and ribose linked by a glycosidic linkage. It is an endogenous ligand of a family of four adenosine receptors, which serve diverse roles related to smooth muscle tone, central nervous system regulation, and cardiac function. Adenosine is a precursor for adenosine 5’-monophosphate (Item No. 21094), adenosine 5’-diphosphate (Item Nos. 16778 / 21121), adenosine 5’-triphosphate (Item No. 14498), and cyclic AMP (Item No. 18820).
