5-Bromo-2'-Deoxyuridine

It is a thymidine analogue which is incorporated into DNA. 5-BrdU is routinely and extensively used to measure DNA synthesis and to label dividing cells. Consequently 5-BrdU is used to study cell signaling and other processes that induce cell proliferation. Thymidine analog used for study of DNA synthesis. This analog selectively incorporates into cellular DNA during S-phase.
