noun
adenosine monophosphate (AMP)
Biochemical term for the nucleotide AMP, a fundamental component in cellular energy transfer and signaling.
アデノシン一リン酸は、ATPが分解されて生じる。
Adenosine monophosphate is produced when ATP is broken down.
細胞内のアデノシン一リン酸濃度が上昇すると、AMPキナーゼが活性化される。
When the intracellular concentration of adenosine monophosphate rises, AMP kinase is activated.
From English 'adenosine monophosphate', combining 'adenosine' (from adenine + ribose) and 'monophosphate' (one phosphate group). The Japanese form is a direct loanword adaptation.
