Background
Adenosine diphosphate is a central molecule in cellular energy transfer and is a byproduct of numerous enzymatic reactions, including those of kinases and ATPases. Monitoring the conversion of ATP to ADP is a fundamental way to measure enzyme activity and metabolic health.
Pathways
ADP is a primary product of ATP hydrolysis and a key substrate for oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. It acts as an upstream signal for the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a master regulator of energy homeostasis.
