General description
Native, yeast myokinase. Myokinase reversibly transfers phosphate from ATP to AMP, thus forming two molecules of ADP. The enzyme is specific for adenine nucleotides and catalyzes the reaction only in the presence of a divalent metal ion (e.g. Mg2+, Ca2+, Co2+, Mn2+, or Ni2+).

Unit Definition
One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will convert 1.0 µmol ATP and 1.0 µmol AMP to 2 µmol ADP per min at 25°C, pH 7.5. Note: 1 KU = 1000 units.
Physical form
Lyophilized from potassium phosphate buffer.
Reconstitution
Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 6 months at -20°C.

Thiamine triphosphate (ThTP) is found at low concentrations in most animal tissues and it may act as a phosphate donor for the phosphorylation of proteins, suggesting a potential role in cell signaling. Two mechanisms have been proposed for the enzymatic

The structural gene for yeast adenylate kinase (AKY) has been isolated and analyzed with respect to its nucleotide sequence. Southern and northern analyses imply that the gene is single copy and is transcribed into an mRNA of about 1,100 bases.
