Description
Product Characteristics: AK2(Adenylate kinase 2, mitochondrial ) is also named as ADK2 and belongs to the adenylate kinase family. It plays a unique role in energy metabolism and energy transfer by regulating the ATP/ADP rate between the cytoplasma matrix and the mitochondria and it is increased expression during adipocyte and B cell differentiation. AK2 catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP to AMP. Defects in AK2 are the cause of reticular dysgenesis (RDYS). It has 6 isoforms produced by alternative splicing.
Target Information: Promotes FBN1 matrix assembly. Attenuates TGFB signaling, possibly by accelerating the sequestration of large latent complexes of TGFB or active TGFB by FBN1 microfibril assembly, thereby negatively regulating the expression of TGFB regulatory targets, such as POSTN
