5-Fluorouracil Metabolite Incorporation into RNA (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Other

Overview

The incorporation of 5-fluorouracil metabolites, specifically fluorouridine triphosphate (FUTP), into RNA during transcription. This process disrupts normal RNA function, particularly ribosomal RNA (rRNA), leading to impaired translation, stress response activation, and ultimately, cytotoxicity in cancer cells treated with 5-fluorouracil.
