Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunoprecipitation Specificity / Sensitivity ADK (F5Q5P) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total ADK protein. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human ADK protein. Background Adenosine kinase (ADK) is an evolutionary conserved ribokinase that functions as a key regulator of adenosine metabolism by catalyzing the phosphorylation of adenosine to produce 5-adenosine monophosphate (AMP) (reviewed in 1). Adenosine is not only a critical component of RNA, but also functions in maintaining energy homeostasis as a precursor of ATP production, second messenger signaling through the production of cAMP, maintaining S-adenosylmethionine-dependent transmethylation and adenine-containing co-enzymes NAD and FAD, and can directly signal through its cognate receptors. ADK has two isoforms with distinct expression and subcellular localization: a nuclear long form (ADK-L) and a cytoplasmic short form (ADK-S) (2). Genetic knockout of ADK in mice results in perinatal lethality, microvesicular hepatic steatosis, and stunted growth (3). ADK dysfunction is involved in several pathologies, including diabetes, epilepsy, and cancer (4).
