What Does ADP Stand For?
ADP stands for Adenosine Diphosphate RN 58 64 0
ADP, or Adenosine Diphosphate RN 58 64 0, is a nucleotide composed of adenine, ribose, and two phosphate groups. It plays a crucial role in cellular energy transfer, serving as an important precursor to adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The conversion of ADP to ATP, facilitated by the addition of a phosphate group, is essential for various biochemical processes, including metabolism and muscle contraction. Additionally, ADP is involved in signaling pathways and coagulation mechanisms within the body.
