SYNONYMS
Adenylate kinase Isoenzyme 1 isoform 1, Ak-1, B430205N08Rik, ATP-AMP transphosphorylase 1, ATP:AMP phosphotransferase, Adenylate monophosphate kinase, Myokinase.
INTRODUCTION
AK1 is a small ubiquitous enzyme which is essential for maintenance and cell growth. It is involved in the regulation of adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP. The AK1 protein is found in the cytosol of skeletal muscle, brain and erythrocytes. Defects in the AK1 gene are the cause of a form of hemolytic anemia.
DESCRIPTION
AK1 Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 233 amino acids (1-210 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 25.5kDa.
AK1 is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
