Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes adenosine kinase (gene ADK) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 40.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 45 kDa.
Adenosine kinase (ADK) phosphorylates adenosine to AMP and is the main enzyme that clears adenosine inside cells. By controlling adenosine levels it influences neuromodulation and methylation reactions, and it is studied in epilepsy, liver metabolism and inflammation.
