Gene: AK5
Alternate names for this Gene: AK6
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the adenylate kinase family, which is involved in regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate groups among adenine nucleotides. This member is related to the UMP/CMP kinase of several species. It is located in the cytosol and expressed exclusively in brain. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p31.1
Description of this Gene: adenylate kinase 5
Type of Gene: protein-coding
