Adenylate kinase isoenzyme 1, AK 1, ATP-AMP transphosphorylase 1, Myokinase, AK1.

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.

AK1 Human Recombinant fused with a 20 amino acid His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 214 amino acids (1-194 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 23.7kDa. The AK1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
