Structural highlights

Function

KAD2_YEAST Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the terminal phosphate group between ATP and AMP. Plays an important role in cellular energy homeostasis and in adenine nucleotide metabolism. Adenylate kinase activity is critical for regulation of the phosphate utilization and the AMP de novo biosynthesis pathways.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_03168]^{[1] [2] [3]}
