adenosine diphosphate [ə¦den·ə‚sēn ‚dī′fäs·fāt]
(biochemistry)
C10H15N5O10P2A coenzyme composed of adenosine and two molecules of phosphoric acid that is important in intermediate cellular metabolism. Abbreviated ADP.

Adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

A coenzyme and an important intermediate in cellular metabolism as the partially dephosphorylated form of adenosine triphosphate. The compound is 5-adenylic acid with an additional phosphate group attached through a pyrophosphate bond. ADP is produced from adenosine triphosphate and reconverted to this compound in coupled reactions concerned with the energy metabolism of living systems. ADP is also produced from 5-adenylic acid by the transfer of a phosphate group from adenosine triphosphate in a reaction that is catalyzed by an enzyme, myokinase. See Metabolism

Platelet aggregation testing was performed using a platelet aggregometer (PACKS-4 Platelet Aggregation Chromogenic Kinetic System, Helena Laboratories) in response to 10 ug/mL collagen, 10 uM adenosine diphosphate, 10 uM epinephrine, 500 ug/mL arachdonate, and 1.
These preparations allow for systematic manipulation of the concentration of different metabolic components (eg, adenosine diphosphate [ADP], inorganic phosphate [[P.
