Notes

ATP Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric) (ab83355) use a robust, simple method; the ATP assay protocol relies on the phosphorylation of glycerol to generate a product that is easily quantified by colorimetric (ODmax = 570 nm) or fluorometric (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) methods.

This kit can detect as low as 1 μM of ATP in various samples.

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

If you require a more sensitive product, we recommend Luminescent ATP Detection Assay Kit (Luminescent ATP Detection Assay Kit ab113849), which can detect as low as 1 pM of ATP.

Supplementary info

Activity summary

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

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.

    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.
