Recombinant mouse AK2 protein
Ak2, also known as Adenylate kinase 2 mitochondrial isoform a, is a ubiquitous monomeric enzyme involved energy metabolism of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Three isozymes (Ak1, Ak2 and Ak3) are characterized in vertebrates. Expression of these isozymes is tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. Ak2 is localized in the mitochondrial intermembrane space and may pay a role in apoptosis. Recombinant mouse Ak2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
