10mM ATP has been used in cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (CDK5) and calpain activity assay to determine CDK5 activity in brain tissues.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the most crucial energy currency of cells, which is implicated in many cellular processes. It has high phosphate transfer potential, which is useful in muscle contraction, membrane transport, synthesis, and degradation of biological molecules. ATP functions as an intracellular/extracellular signaling molecule in cellular processes like cell motility, insulin secretion, neurotransmission, and organ development.

General description

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) comprises an adenine base linked to sugar ribose and three phosphate groups.
