Adenosine Tri Phosphate...
as I remembered ten minutes later...
Hey!
Beyond energy transduction, ATP plays a central role in signaling. ATP serves as a phosphate-group donor for substrate activation in metabolic reactions and as the coenzyme for a large number of kinases. In the regulation of protein function, ATP can serve as both a phosphate- and an adenylyl-group donor for post-translational modifications. ATP is also required for the biosynthesis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), which is a critical second messenger in signal transduction. Furthermore, ATP itself can serve as a bona fide signaling ligand for ATP-sensitive or purinergic ionotropic and G-protein coupled receptors. With its vast repertoire of biological functions, the spatial and temporal dynamics of ATP broadly affect both intracellular and extracellular processes that determine normal physiology as well as pathological states. To this end, we briefly review examples demonstrating the importance of ATP in brain energy metabolism and inflammation before surveying a number of ATP detection and imaging methods that are currently available.
