Redirected from AMP
AMP can be produced during ATP synthesis by the enzyme adenylate kinase[?] by combining two ADP molecules:
Or AMP may be produced by the hydrolysis of one high energy phosphate bond of ADP:
AMP can also be formed by hydrolysis of ATP into AMP and pyrophosphate:
When RNA is broken down by living systems, nucleoside monophosphates, including adenosine monophosphate, are formed.
AMP can be regenerated to ATP as follows:
AMP can be converted into IMP[?] by the enzyme myoadenylate deaminase[?], freeing an ammonia group.
In a catabolic pathway, adenosine monophosphate can be converted to uric acid, which is excreted from the body.
