Biological Activity

ATP (Adenosine 5'-triphosphate) magnesium is a central component of energy storage and metabolism in vivo. ATP dimagnesium provides the metabolic energy to drive metabolic pumps and serves as a coenzyme in cells. Adenosine 5γ-triphosphate (ATP) is a central component of energy storage and metabolism in vivo. ATP is use in many cellular processes, respiration, biosynthetic reactions, motility, and cell division. ATP is a substrate of many kinases involved in cell signaling and of adenylate cyclase(s) that produce the second messenger cAMP. ATP provides the metabolic energy to drive metabolic pumps. ATP serves as a coenzyme in a wide array of enzymatic reactions. ATP magnesium is an important endogenous signaling molecule in immunity and inflammation.
