Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP)

Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP)

Adenylic acid is an adenine nucleotide. It rises when ATP is hydrolyzed and allosterically activates AMP-activated protein kinase—an intermediary signal of cellular energy charge.

Primary

Support energy-charge regulation

When ATP is consumed, AMP rises and allosterically activates AMPK, promoting energy-producing paths and suppressing energy-consuming synthesis. During exercise or energy shortage, cells first sense through this monophosphate that metabolism should turn toward production.

Primary

Maintain the adenine-nucleotide pool

AMP can be rephosphorylated to ADP and ATP, or deaminated into IMP; infant-formula blends also include this member. Muscle and liver demand for this pool rises during repair and growth; everyday protein and nucleic-acid diets also supply this nucleotide.

Fatigue

When ATP is consumed, AMP rises and allosterically activates AMPK, promoting energy-producing paths and suppressing energy-consuming synthesis. During exercise or energy shortage, cells first sense through this monophosphate that metabolism should turn toward production. People who cannot get going by day and feel foggy in the afternoon more often notice stamina for tasks and mental freshness after several continuous weeks.
