Adenylate kinase 1, aa1-194, Recombinant, Human (Adenylate kinase isoenzyme 1, mitochondrial, ADK2,

AK1 is an enzyme involved in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP. This protein is found in the cytosol of skeletal muscle, brain and erythrocytes. It is a small ubiquitous enzyme which is essential for maintenance and cell growth. Defects in AK1 are the cause of a form of hemolytic anemia. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa1-194 of human recombinant AK1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E.coli.
