Anti-AK7, CT (Putative Adenylate Kinase 7)

The adenylate kinases (AK) are a family of structurally and functionally related enzymes that catalyze a similar reaction, MgNTP + AMP = MgNDP + ADP (N = A or G). The AK enzymes are important for maintenance of homeostasis of the adenine and guanine nucleotide pools. AK1 is a cytosolic enzyme for which ATP is the substrate. AK2 catalyzes the same reaction as AK1, but it is localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. AK3 is present in the mitochondrial matrix and prefers GTP over ATP as the substrate. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:1,000, Western Blot: 1:50-1:100, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months.
