Fluoro ATP

Introduction

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is an organic molecule which is exclusively formed in the mitochondria. Vritually all living systems store energy in the phosphate bonds of ATP and plays a central  role in cellular metabolism and energy transfer reactions. ATP and be de-phosphorylation to ADP and further de-phosphorylation to AMP. This cycling of ATP is central to transferring potential (thermodynamic) energy from one source to another. There are several genetic disorders that effect the generation of ATP in the mitochondria ^(1-3).

Cell Technology’s Fluoro ATP assay provides a reliable, sensitive fluorimetric assay for the quantification of ATP in  biological samples.
