About AK2

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

AK2 catalyses reversible phosphate transfer among adenine nucleotides, supporting cellular adenine-nucleotide homeostasis. The human isozyme localizes to the mitochondrial intermembrane space and is studied in mitochondrial energetics and cell-death biology.

Experimental context

Research context

AK2 research focuses on mitochondrial nucleotide balance, energy metabolism, hematopoietic development and apoptosis-linked mitochondrial physiology. Product suitability remains reagent- and application-specific.
