Adenylate kinases play a role in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate groups among adenine nucleotides. There are 3 types of adenylate kinase isozymes, AK1, AK2, and AK3 in vertebrates. Expression of these isozymes are tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. AK2 is localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and is involved in apoptosis. AK2 is mutated in individuals with reticular dysgenesis.
AK2 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 259 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 28.6 kDa.
AK2 is fused to 20 a.a. His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
