Gene: AK1
Alternate names for this Gene: HTL-S-58j
Gene Summary: This gene encodes an adenylate kinase enzyme involved in energy metabolism and homeostasis of cellular adenine nucleotide ratios in different intracellular compartments. This gene is highly expressed in skeletal muscle, brain and erythrocytes. Certain mutations in this gene resulting in a functionally inadequate enzyme are associated with a rare genetic disorder causing nonspherocytic hemolytic anemia. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 9
Location in Chromosome : 9q34.11
Description of this Gene: adenylate kinase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
