Application
Adenosine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt hydrate has been used:
- to prepare adenosine triphosphate (ATP) standard solutions to determine ATP levels in various bacterial cultures
- bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) treatment
- as a preparation free of contaminating guanine nucleotides to study the binding effects of coatomer β subunit (β-COP)
Biochem/physiol Actions
Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) is a central component of energy storage and metabolism in vivo. ATP is used in many cellular processes, respiration, biosynthetic reactions, active transport, and motility. ATP is a substrate of many kinases involved in cell signaling and of adenylate cyclase that produce the secondary messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). ATP provides the metabolic energy to drive metabolic pumps. It serves as a coenzyme in a wide array of enzymatic reactions.
