ATP levels in Pancreatic Islet.

ab83355 was used to determin ATP levels in rat pancreas islets as an ischemic marker to predict transplantation outcomes. We extracted ATP from fresh pancreas that have undergo different time of cold ischemia : 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10h and in situ. ATP were extracted in Perchloric acid (PCA-2M) and grind using a Polytron. PCA were removed using potassium hydroxide (KOH – 2M) and pH was adjust around 7-8. Samples were conserved at -80°C before utilization.

Product details

ATP Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric) (ab83355) use a robust, simple ATP assay method. This kit can detect as low as 1 μM of ATP in various samples

How the assay works
ATP assay kit ab83355 uses the standard established assay protocol for fluorometric and colorimetric ATP determination kits:
- glycerol is phosphorylated by glycerol kinase in an ATP dependent reaction to produce glycerol 3-phosphate
- glycerol 3-phosphate is then acted on by glycerol phosphate oxidase to produce glycerone phosphate and hydrogen peroxide
- hydrogen peroxide is then processed by a peroxidase causing a reaction with a probe to generate red color (λmax = 570 nm) and fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm).

ATP assay protocol summary

  • - Add samples (deproteinized) and standards to wells
  • - Add reaction mix and incubate for 30 min at room temp
  • - Analyze with microplate reader

Supplementary information

ATP or adenosine triphosphate acts mechanically as the key energy carrier in cellular processes. It has a molecular mass of approximately 507 Da. ATP is present throughout prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells particularly in the cytoplasm mitochondria and chloroplasts. Known also as the "molecular unit of currency" ATP transfers energy for all biochemical reactions and cellular activities. ATP functions in various cellular activities including active transport across membranes signal transduction and muscle contraction.
Biological function summary

ATP provides the energy necessary for most cellular functions. It is part of the ATP synthesis complex also known as ATP synthase localized in the mitochondrial inner membrane (in eukaryotes) and the plasma membrane (in prokaryotes). This complex facilitates ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. ATP also plays a significant role in cellular metabolism and energy transfer. Many enzymes use ATP to catalyze reactions converting ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate releasing energy to power cellular activities.

Pathways

ATP is integral to both glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. In glycolysis ATP participates in substrate-level phosphorylation transferring energy from glucose breakdown steps. The citric acid cycle further processes metabolic intermediates generating high-energy electron carriers that feed the electron transport chain. This chain leads to ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation. ATP interacts with enzymes like hexokinase and phosphofructokinase in glycolysis and other enzymes in the electron transport chain like cytochrome c oxidase.

ATP's role is linked to various conditions such as mitochondrial diseases and cardiac ischemia. In mitochondrial diseases mutations in mitochondrial DNA affect ATP production leading to energy deficits in cells. These disorders involve proteins like NADH dehydrogenase a component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. In cardiac ischemia reduced oxygen supply impairs ATP synthesis affecting heart muscle contraction. Ischemia involves proteins such as creatine kinase which buffers ATP levels to sustain cellular energy during reduced blood flow.

Product protocols

This is a protocol summary; please use the downloadable protocol booklet for full instructions.

ATP assay protocol

Reagent prep

Reconstitute ATP IV in water to 10mM. Reconstitute Converter Mix B and Developer Mix N in Assay Buffer 23. Other assay components are ready-to-use.

Note – DMSO tends to be solid when stored at -20°C, even when left at room temperature; melt DMSO solution (OxiRed Probe) in a 37°C bath for 1 – 5 min before use.

Sample prep

Homogenize cells by pipetting (and tissue with a Dounce homogenizer) in Assay Buffer 23. Insoluble material is removed by centrifuge, and the supernatant is used for the assay.

Use Red Blood Cell Lysis Buffer (ab204733) for red blood cells.

Cell and tissue samples may contain enzymes that interfere with the assay. Remove these enzymes from sample and deproteinize samples with TCA kit ab204708, or use PCA/KOH deproteinization.

Use heparin when collecting plasma or serum. EDTA and other chelators should be avoided. Deproteinize fluid samples with 10 kD spin columns (ab93349).

Notes:
-highly metabolically active tissues, such as muscle, should be prepared directly in PCA.
- do not extend incubation times of 5 min when using TCA. Longer incubation times may result in loss of ATP.
- fresh samples are preferable, if this is not possible then snap freeze in liquid nitrogen upon extraction and store at -80°C.

ATP assay procedure

Notes:
- detection sensitivity of fluorometric assay is 10-100 fold higher than colorimetric assay.
- glycerol phosphate present in cell or tissue extracts can generate background in this assay. If you suspect your samples contain glycerol phosphate, set up Sample Background Controls.
- OxiRed Probe is very sensitive to exposure to air and light and hence should be kept tightly sealed, and should be added to the reaction mix right before the assay.
- we recommend measuring reaction immediately but reaction is stable for at least 2 hours.

1) Prepare reaction mix with Assay Buffer 23, OxiRed Probe, Converter Mix B and Developer Mix N, and add to sample and standard wells.

Omit Converter Mix B from reaction mix added to sample background wells. In absence of Converter Mix B, the assay detects only endogenous glycerol phosphate but not ATP.

2) Mix and incubate at room temperature for 30 min protected from light.

3) Measure output on a microplate reader at OD 570 nm for colorimetric assay, or at Ex/Em = 535/587 nm for fluorometric assay.
