Overview

ATPase is widely distributed in the biological membrane enzyme systems of plants, animals, microorganisms, and cells. It functions as both a carrier and an enzyme, maintaining the cell membrane potential, regulating osmotic pressure, and providing the driving force for nutrient absorption. It plays an extremely important role in maintaining normal cellular physiological functions and can serve as a key evaluation indicator for cellular energy metabolism and functional integrity.

Detection Principle

Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-ATPase decomposes ATP to generate ADP and inorganic phosphorus. Under acidic conditions, inorganic phosphorus reacts with ammonium molybdate to form ammonium phosphomolybdate, which is then reduced to form a blue phosphomolybdenum complex. This product has a characteristic absorption peak at 660 nm. The activity of Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-ATPase can be characterized by the change in absorbance.

Applicable Samples: Serum (plasma), animal and plant tissues, cells, bacteria

0.5 μmol/mL Standard Phosphorus Application Solution	Dilute the Standard 20-fold: Take 0.1 mL Standard and add 1.9 mL deionized water, mix thoroughly.
Phosphorus Assay Reagent	Prepare by mixing deionized water : Working Reagent Ⅳ : Working Reagent Ⅴ : Reagent Ⅵ = 2 : 1 : 1 : 1. The prepared reagent should be light yellow.	If colorless, the reagent has expired; if blue, indicates phosphorus contamination. Prepare the Phosphorus Assay Reagent freshly before use.

Notes:

(1) Reagent Ⅲ has a pungent odor, Reagent Ⅴ is toxic, and Reagent Ⅵ is corrosive. It is recommended to perform the experiment in a fume hood.

(2) It is best to use new beakers, glass rods, and glass pipettes for reagent preparation, or use disposable plasticware to avoid phosphorus contamination. 

2. Sample Preparation

Notes:

(1) Fresh samples are recommended. If not used immediately for experimentation, samples can be stored at -80°C for 1 month. Processed samples must be tested on the same day.

(2) If protein concentration measurement is required, the use of Aladdin's B665595 BCA Protein Quantification Kit or R1491648 Ready-to-Use BCA Protein Quantification Kit is recommended.

2.1 Plasma, Serum, and other liquid samples

Can be detected directly.

2.2 Animal tissue samples

Homogenize the tissue on ice with Extraction Buffer at a ratio of 0.1 g tissue to 1 mL Buffer. Centrifuge the homogenate at 4°C, 8,000 g for 10 min. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for testing.

2.3 Bacterial and cell samples

Collect 5 million cells or bacteria into a centrifuge tube. Wash the cells or bacteria with cold PBS, centrifuge, and discard the supernatant. Add 1 mL of Extraction Buffer. Disrupt the cells using ice-bath ultrasonication for 5 minutes (power 20% or 200 W, ultrasonic for 3 s, interval 7 s, repeat 30 times). Then centrifuge at 8,000 g, 4°C for 10 min. Collect the supernatant and keep it on ice for testing.

3.Experimental Steps

3.1 Preheat the microplate reader or visible spectrophotometer for at least 30 minutes. Set the wavelength to 660 nm. For the visible spectrophotometer, zero it with deionized water.

3.2 Enzymatic Reaction (Add the following reagents to EP tubes)

Reagent (μL)	Control Tube	Test Tube
Assay Buffer	65	45
Working Reagent Ⅰ	60	60
Reagent Ⅱ	0	20
Sample	0	100

Mix thoroughly and place in a water bath at 37°C (for mammals) or 25°C (for other species) for exactly 10 minutes.

Working Reagent Ⅲ	25	25
Sample	100	0

Mix thoroughly, centrifuge at 4,000 g, room temperature for 10 minutes, and collect the supernatant.

3.3 Phosphorus Assay (Add the following reagents to a 96-well plate or micro glass cuvettes)

Reagent (μL)	Blank Well	Standard Well	Control Well	Test Well
0.5 μmol/mL Standard P Application Solution	0	20	0	0
Supernatant	0	0	20	20
Deionized water	20	0	0	0
Phosphorus Assay Reagent	200	200	200	200

3.4 Mix thoroughly and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Measure the absorbance at 660 nm and record the values as A_Blank, A_Standard, A_Control, and A_Test.

Note: A control well is required for each sample. Only one blank well and one standard well are needed. It is recommended to perform a preliminary experiment with 2-3 samples expected to have large differences before the formal experiment. If (A_Test - A_Control) is less than 0.001, consider appropriately increasing the sample volume. If (A_Test - A_Control) is greater than 1.5, the sample can be further diluted with Extraction Buffer, and the calculated result should be multiplied by the dilution factor, or the amount of sample used for extraction can be reduced.

4. Calculation of Results

Note: We provide two types of calculation formulas: the derived process formula and the simplified formula. They are completely equivalent. It is recommended to use the simplified formula in bold as the final calculation formula.

4.1 Calculation of Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-ATPase Activity in Serum (Plasma) and other liquid samples

Definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP to produce 1 μmol of inorganic phosphorus per hour per milliliter of serum (plasma).

Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-ATPase activity (U/mL) = C_Standard × (A_Test - A_Control) ÷ (A_Standard - A_Blank) × V_Total ÷ V_Sample ÷ (T ÷ 60) = 7.5 × (A_Test - A_Control) ÷ (A_Standard - A_Blank)

4.2 Calculation of Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-ATPase Activity in Tissues, Bacteria, or Cells

(1) Calculation based on protein concentration

Definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP to produce 1 μmol of inorganic phosphorus per hour per milligram of tissue protein.

Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-ATPase activity (U/mg) = C_Standard × (A_Test - A_Control) ÷ (A_Standard - A_Blank) × V_Total ÷ (Cpr × V_Sample) ÷ (T ÷ 60) = 7.5 × (A_Test - A_Control) ÷ (A_Standard - A_Blank) ÷ Cpr

(2) Calculation based on sample fresh weight

Definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP to produce 1 μmol of inorganic phosphorus per hour per gram of tissue.

Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-ATPase activity (U/g) = C_Standard × (A_Test - A_Control) ÷ (A_Standard - A_Blank) × V_Total ÷ (V_Sample ÷ V_{Sample Total} × W) ÷ (T ÷ 60) = 7.5 × (A_Test - A_Control) ÷ (A_Standard - A_Blank) ÷ W

(3) Calculation based on bacterial or cell density

Definition: One unit of enzyme activity is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes ATP to produce 1 μmol of inorganic phosphorus per hour per 10⁴ bacteria or cells.

Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-ATPase activity (U/10⁴) = C_Standard × (A_Test - A_Control) ÷ (A_Standard - A_Blank) × V_Total ÷ (V_Sample ÷ V_{Sample Total} × 500) ÷ (T ÷ 60) = 0.015 × (A_Test - A_Control) ÷ (A_Standard - A_Blank)
