DHA Kinase Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene is a member of the family of dihydroxyacetone kinases, which have a protein structure distinct from other kinases. The product of this gene phosphorylates dihydroxyacetone, and also catalyzes the formation of riboflavin 4',5'-phosphate (aka cyclin FMN) from FAD. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only one has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], catalytic activity:ATP + glycerone = ADP + glycerone phosphate., catalytic activity:FAD = AMP + riboflavin cyclic-4',5'-phosphate., cofactor:Magnesium., cofactor:Manganese or cobalt; for FAD-AMP lyase activity., enzyme regulation:Each activity is inhibited by the substrate (s) of the other., function:Catalyzes both the phosphorylation of dihydroxyacetone and the splitting of ribonucleoside diphosphate-X compounds among which FAD is the best substrate., similarity:Belongs to the dihydroxyacetone kinase (DAK) family., similarity:Contains 1 DAK1 (dihydroxyacetone kinase subunit 1) domain., similarity:Contains 1 DAK2 (dihydroxyacetone kinase subunit 2) domain., subunit:Homodimer.
