Description: 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.

Introduction: 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.

NCBI Description

Adenylate kinases are involved in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate groups among adenine nucleotides. Three isozymes of adenylate kinase, namely 1, 2, and 3, have been identified in vertebrates; this gene encodes isozyme 2. Expression of these isozymes is tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. Isozyme 2 is localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and may play a role in apoptosis. Mutations in this gene are the cause of reticular dysgenesis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 1 and 2.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Uniprot Description

AK2: Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP. This small ubiquitous enzyme involved in energy metabolism and nucleotide synthesis that is essential for maintenance and cell growth. Plays a key role in hematopoiesis. Defects in AK2 are the cause of reticular dysgenesis (RDYS); also known as aleukocytosis. RDYS is the most severe form of inborn severe combined immunodeficiencies (SCID) and is characterized by absence of granulocytes and almost complete deficiency of lymphocytes in peripheral blood, hypoplasia of the thymus and secondary lymphoid organs, and lack of innate and adaptive humoral and cellular immune functions, leading to fatal septicemia within days after birth. In bone marrow of individuals with reticular dysgenesis, myeloid differentiation is blocked at the promyelocytic stage, whereas erythro- and megakaryocytic maturation is generally normal.In addition, affected newborns have bilateral sensorineural deafness. Defects may be due to its absence in leukocytes and inner ear, in which its absence can not be compensated by AK1. Belongs to the adenylate kinase family. AK2 subfamily. 6 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes

The AK2 ak2 (Catalog #AAA143387) is an Active Protein produced from E Coli and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The amino acid sequence is listed below: MGSSHHH HHH SSGLVPRGSH MAPSVPAAEP EYPKGIRAVL LGPPGAGKGT QAPRLAENFC VCHLATGDML RAMVASGSEL GKKLKATMDA GKLVSDEMVV ELIEKNLETP LCKNGFLLDG FPRTVRQAEM LDDLMEKRKE KLDSVIEFSI PDSLLIRRIT GRLIHPKSGR SYHEEFNPPK EPMKDDITGE PLIRRSDDNE KALKIRLQAY HTQTTPLIEY YRKRGIHSAI DASQTPDVVF ASILAAFSKA TCKDLVMFI. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Adenylate Kinase 2, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
