Adenylate Kinase 1/AK1 Protein, Rat (His)

The adenylate kinase 1 (AK1) protein plays a crucial role in cellular energy homeostasis by maintaining the balance of adenylate nucleotides by catalyzing the reversible transfer of terminal phosphate groups between ATP and AMP. Adenylate Kinase 1/AK1 Protein, Rat (His) is the recombinant rat-derived Adenylate Kinase 1/AK1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His labeled tag. The total length of Adenylate Kinase 1/AK1 Protein, Rat (His) is 194 a.a., with molecular weight of ~23.8 kDa.

Adenylate Kinase 1 (AK1) is a versatile enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP, a critical step in cellular energy homeostasis. Additionally, AK1 exhibits nucleoside diphosphate kinase activity, facilitating the production of various nucleoside triphosphates (ATP, CTP, GTP, UTP, dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP) from their corresponding diphosphate substrates, using either ATP or GTP as a phosphate donor. This enzymatic flexibility highlights its essential role in nucleotide biosynthesis. Furthermore, AK1 demonstrates a lower-rate catalysis of the synthesis of thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) from thiamine diphosphate (ThDP) and ADP, indicating its involvement in thiamine metabolism. The multifaceted functions of AK1 underscore its importance in maintaining cellular energy levels and participating in diverse nucleotide and cofactor biosynthetic pathways.
