Anti-AK1

adenylate kinase 1(AK1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes an adenylate kinase enzyme involved in energy metabolism and homeostasis of cellular adenine nucleotide ratios in different intracellular compartments. This gene is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, brain and erythrocytes. Certain mutations in this gene resulting in a functionally inadequate enzyme are associated with a rare genetic disorder causing nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015], Protein function: Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP (PubMed:2542324). Exhibits nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity, catalyzing the production of ATP, CTP, GTP, UTP, dATP, dCTP, dGTP and dTTP from the corresponding diphosphate substrates with either ATP or GTP as phosphate donor (PubMed:23416111). Also catalyzes at a very low rate the synthesis of thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) from thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) and ADP.
