ADK ELISA kits are immunoassay tools for the measurement of the protein adenosine kinase, which is encoded by the ADK gene in humans. Functionally, this protein is known to catalyze the phosphorylation of the purine nucleoside adenosine at the 5' position in an ATP-dependent manner. The canonical protein structure is reported to have an amino acid length of 362 residues, a mass of 40.5 kDa, and is a member of the Carbohydrate kinase PfkB protein family. It is known to be localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm and is widely expressed across many tissue types. As many as 4 protein isoforms have been reported. The ADK gene has been associated with the disease, Hypermethioninemia due to adenosine kinase deficiency. Other alias names for this target include adenosine 5'-phosphotransferase, testicular tissue protein Li 14, and AK.
The detection range for different ADK ELISA kits can vary, with some assays measuring target concentrations as low as 15.625 pg/mL and as high as 100 ng/mL. Click on the products below for more detailed ELISA kit information, such as target reactivity and assay sensitivity.
