ADK / Adenosine Kinase
adenosine kinase
Adenosine kinase (ATP: adenosine 5-prime-phosphotransferase) is an abundant enzyme in mammalian tissues that catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-phosphate from ATP to adenosine, thereby serving as a regulator of concentrations of both extracellular adenosine and intracellular adenine nucleotides. Adenosine has widespread effects on the cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory, and immune systems and inhibitors of ADK could play an important pharmacological role in increasing intravascular adenosine concentrations and acting as antiinflammatory agents. There are 2 ADK transcripts that encode a 345-amino acid form and a 362-amino acid form of the enzyme. These 2 alternately spliced forms differ only at the 5-prime end, where the first four encoded residues of the short form are replaced by 21 residues in the long form. When expressed, both isoforms of the enzyme phosphorylated adenosine with identical kinetics and both required Mg2+ for activity.
