Description : This gene encodes a member of the adenylate kinase family of enzymes. The encoded protein is localized to the mitochondrial matrix. Adenylate kinases regulate the adenine and guanine nucleotide compositions within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate group among these nucleotides. Five isozymes of adenylate kinase have been identified in vertebrates. Expression of these isozymes is tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. A pseudogene for this gene has been located on chromosome 17. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene. Sequence alignment suggests that the gene defined by NM_013410, NM_203464, and NM_001005353 is located on chromosome 1.

Ask a question
What are the different cellular processes involving AK4 protein? 03/25/2023

AK4 is involved in various cellular processes, including energy metabolism, maintaining cellular ATP/AMP ratio, and protecting cells from oxidative stress. It also plays a role in the regulation of apoptosis and cell proliferation.

Does AK4 protein play a role in cellular respiration? 10/02/2022

AK4 protein does not directly participate in cellular respiration itself, but it contributes to energy metabolism by regulating ATP levels. ATP generated through cellular respiration is used by AK4 to regenerate ADP, ensuring an adequate supply of ATP for cellular functions. Thus, AK4 indirectly supports cellular respiration by maintaining a proper ATP/ADP balance.

Are there any animal models available to study AK4 protein's function? 08/17/2022

Yes, animal models, such as mice, have been used to study AK4 protein's function and its impact on various diseases. These models allow researchers to investigate the physiological and pathological roles of AK4 and assess its therapeutic potential.

Are there any ongoing clinical trials targeting AK4 protein? 07/08/2022

Currently, there are no known clinical trials specifically targeting AK4 protein. However, research on AK4 and its potential therapeutic implications is ongoing, and future clinical trials may explore the therapeutic relevance of AK4 modulation in diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.

Is AK4 protein targeted by any drugs? 05/28/2022

As of now, there are no drugs specifically targeting AK4 protein. However, further research may uncover its therapeutic potential, particularly in diseases where AK4 dysregulation is observed.

How is AK4 protein regulated in the cell? 09/30/2021

AK4 protein expression and activity can be regulated at multiple levels, including transcriptional regulation, post-translational modifications, and interaction with other cellular proteins. Various signaling pathways and conditions can influence AK4 expression and activity.

Can AK4 protein levels be regulated by environmental factors? 06/14/2021

While research on the direct influence of environmental factors on AK4 protein levels is limited, it is plausible that certain environmental factors, such as diet or exposure to toxins, may indirectly affect AK4 expression or activity. However, further studies are needed to determine the specific environmental factors that may influence AK4 regulation and their impact on health and disease.

Are there any known inhibitors or activators of AK4 protein? 10/02/2020

Currently, there are no known specific inhibitors or activators of AK4 protein. The research on AK4 modulation is still in its early stages, and more investigations are needed to identify compounds that can selectively modulate AK4 activity. Such compounds could have potential therapeutic applications in diseases involving abnormal energy metabolism.

Can AK4 protein be used as a biomarker for any diseases? 09/29/2020

Recent research suggests that altered expression and activity of AK4 protein may be associated with certain diseases. For example, decreased AK4 levels have been observed in certain cancers, while increased levels have been linked to neurodegenerative disorders.

Can AK4 protein be targeted for therapeutic interventions? 05/19/2020

While specific drugs targeting AK4 protein are not currently available, further research may uncover its potential as a therapeutic target. Modulating AK4 activity or expression may have implications in diseases where its dysregulation occurs, such as cancer or neurodegenerative disorders.

How is AK4 protein linked to cancer? 02/20/2020

Research has shown that AK4 protein expression is often downregulated in various types of cancer, including lung, breast, and colon cancer. Decreased AK4 levels have been associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis. Loss of AK4 function may affect ATP regeneration and energy metabolism in cancer cells, promoting their survival and proliferation.

Does genetic variation in AK4 contribute to disease susceptibility? 09/02/2016

Genetic variations in AK4 have not been extensively studied with regard to disease susceptibility. However, some studies have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the AK4 gene that may be associated with certain diseases or conditions. For example, specific AK4 SNPs have been linked to increased risk of developing diabetic nephropathy, a kidney complication of diabetes. Further investigation is required to establish any direct causal relationship between AK4 genetic variations and disease susceptibility.

Can AK4 protein be targeted in cancer therapy? 12/18/2015

Targeting AK4 protein in cancer therapy holds potential, as decreased AK4 expression in certain cancers suggests a role in tumor growth and progression. Developing AK4-specific inhibitors or activators could potentially disrupt cancer cell metabolism and induce cell death or sensitize tumors to other treatments.
