Adenylate kinase is an essential catalyst for cellular growth and multiplication. ADK belongs to a family of enzymes essential to life, and is highly abundant inside the cell. It is involved in the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group from Mg2+ATP to Mg2+AMP with high energy turnover: Mg2+ATP + AMP↔Mg2+ADP + ADP. | Adenylate kinase is an essential catalyst for cellular growth and multiplication.
