ATP decoder is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency of cells. It catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from inorganic pyrophosphate to ADP, resulting in the formation of ATP.
ATP decoder is essential for cellular metabolism as ATP is utilized in various energy-requiring processes, including muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and chemical synthesis. Its importance is further highlighted by the fact that disruptions in ATP decoder function have been linked to several human diseases, emphasizing the critical role it plays in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
