Adenosine Triphosphate
Detail
Chemical Name: Adenosine Triphosphate
CAS No.: 56-65-5
Chemical Structure: C10H16N5O13P3
Molecular weight: 507.18
Physiological Functions:
Energy Source: ATP is the most direct source of energy in
biological organisms. When the body requires energy for absorption, secretion,
muscle contraction, and biochemical synthesis reactions, ATP breaks down into
adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate groups, releasing energy in the
process.
Metabolic Role: ATP participates in the metabolism of fats,
proteins, sugars, nucleic acids, and nucleotides in the body, playing a role in
improving overall metabolic functions.
Therapeutic Effects: ATP can be used to treat various conditions
such as heart failure, myocarditis, myocardial infarction, cerebral
arteriosclerosis, coronary arteriosclerosis, angina pectoris, and paroxysmal
tachycardia. Additionally, it can terminate arrhythmias caused by
atrioventricular nodal reentry and bypass tract reentry mechanisms.
