Anti-adenylate kinase 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the AK2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 239 amino acid residues and a mass of 26.5 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the mitochondria. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 6 different isoforms for this protein. A member of the Adenylate kinase protein family, it is known to catalyze the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP. Other names for this target antigen include adenylate kinase 2, mitochondrial, ATP-AMP transphosphorylase 2, ATP:AMP phosphotransferase, adenylate kinase isoenzyme 2, mitochondrial, and ADK2. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. A number of adenylate kinase 2 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
