Anti-AK6 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein adenylate kinase 6. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 172 amino acid residues and a mass of 20.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is found to be expressed in the heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, chorionic villi and the central nervous system. A member of the Adenylate kinase protein family, AK6 is known to be involved with protein phosphorylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include ATP-AMP transphosphorylase 6, adrenal gland protein AD-004, coilin interacting nuclear ATPase protein, coilin interacting protein, and adenylate kinase isoenzyme 6. AK6 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Western Blot is the most common application for the AK6 antibodies listed below. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
