Hypoxanthine is the purine base of the nucleoside inosine.
Hypoxanthine is a nutrient additive for a variety of cell culture applications involving bacterial, parasite (Plasmodium falciparum) and animal cells. Hypoxanthine is a component of selection media used in hybridoma technologies.
Hypoxanthine may be used as a substrate to study the specificity and kinetics of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferases.
