    basic FUNCTION
  • adenylate kinase 2 implicated in adenine and guanine nucleotide pool homeostasis
  • regulating the adenine nucleotide composition within a cell by catalyzing the reversible transfer of phosphate groups among adenine nucleotides
  • mitochondrial energy metabolism enzyme, that catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphoryl group from ATP to AMP
  • may be playing a role in providing the energy required for the proliferation of hematopoietic precursors and/or in controlling cell apoptosis
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism purine/pyrimidine
    signaling
    nucleotide
    a component
  • AK2/FADD/caspase-10 (AFAC10) complex, mediating an amplification loop that ensures the execution of the intrinsic apoptosis
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • acting in concert with FADD and caspase-10, AK2 mediates a novel intrinsic apoptotic pathway that may be involved in tumorigenesis
