adenylate kinase

adenylate kinase
aden·yl·ate ki·nase (ə-denґə-lāt kiґnās) [EC 2.7.4.3] any of a family of structurally and functionally related enzymes of the transferase class that catalyze the reaction 2ADP = ATP + AMP. The enzymes occur predominantly in muscle and provide a means of using both high-energy phosphate bonds from ATP for muscle contraction. The reaction makes AMP concentration a sensitive indicator of depletion of the high-energy phosphate pool and also maintains balance in the nucleotide pool. Called also AMP kinase.
