NCIt definition : An adenine nucleotide comprised of three phosphate groups esterified to the sugar
moiety, found in all living cells. Adenosine triphosphate is involved in energy production
for metabolic processes and RNA synthesis. In addition, this substance acts as a neurotransmitter.
In cancer studies, adenosine triphosphate is synthesized to examine its use to decrease
weight loss and improve muscle strength.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance present in all living cells that provides energy for many metabolic
processes and is involved in making RNA. Adenosine triphosphate made in the laboratory
is being studied in patients with advanced solid tumors to see if it can decrease
weight loss and improve muscle strength.;
