AK1 is an enzyme involved in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP. This protein is found in the cytosol of skeletal muscle, brain and erythrocytes. It is a small ubiquitous enzyme which is essential for maintenance and cell growth. Defects in AK1 are the cause of a form of hemolytic anemia. Recombinant human AK1 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography. MW: 23.7 kDa (214 aa, 1-194 aa + NT His Tag). Purity ≥95%
