ADK, Active

SYNONYMS
Adenosine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.20, AK, ADK, Adenosine Kinase, Adenosine 5-Phosphotransferase, Testicular Tissue Protein Li 14, EC 2.7.1.

INTRODUCTION
Adenosine Kinase is an abundant enzyme in mammalian tissues which catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate from ATP to adenosine, thus is as a regulator of concentrations of both extracellular adenosine and intracellular adenine nucleotides. Adenosine has extensive effects on the cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, and immune systems and inhibitors of the enzyme take a crucial pharmacological part in growing intravascular adenosine concentrations and acting as anti-inflammatory agents.

DESCRIPTION
ADK produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 362 amino acids (22-362a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 40.5kDa.
ADK is fused to a 21 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
