Biochem/physiol Actions

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) is an important energy currency in all living organisms. It possesses high phosphate transfer potential. ATP is involved in several biological processes such as membrane transport, muscle contraction and synthesis, and degradation of biological molecules. It plays a role as an intracellular and extracellular signaling molecule in certain cellular processes such as cell motility, organ development, neurotransmission, and insulin secretion.

General description

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate disodium salt solution is suitable for use in molecular biology applications such as kinase reactions or DNA-dependent RNA polymerase transcription.
