DETAILS

Description (English)
Research Area: Metabolic Disease
Biological Activity:
ATP is a disodium salt form of adenosine-triphosphate which is a multifunctional nucleoside triphosphate. [1] ATP (Adenosine-Triphosphate) transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. ATP (Adenosine-Triphosphate) is produced by photophosphorylation and cellular respiration and used by enzymes and structural proteins in many cellular processes, including biosynthetic reactions, motility, and cell division. One molecule of ATP (Adenosine-Triphosphate) contains three phosphate groups, and it is produced by ATP synthase from inorganic phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP). ATP (Adenosine-Triphosphate) is also a signalling molecule. ATP (Adenosine-Triphosphate) is used by kinases as the source of phosphate groups in their phosphate transfer reactions. Kinase activity on substrates such as proteins or membrane lipids are a common form of signal transduction. Phosphorylation of a protein by a kinase can activate this cascade such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade.
