Expression Region:

40-277aa

Subcellular Location:

Mitochondrion

Tissue Specificity:

Ubiquitous. Highest expression in muscle, brain, liver and lymphoid tissues.

Protein Length:

Full Length of Mature Protein

Pathway:

Mol. Weight:

44 kDa

Purity:

Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Form:

Liquid or Lyophilized powder

Buffer:

If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0.

Research Areas:

Signal Transduction

Function:

Phosphorylates deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine in the mitochondrial matrix, with the highest efficiency for deoxyguanosine. In non-replicating cells, where cytosolic dNTP synthesis is down-regulated, mtDNA synthesis depends solely on DGUOK and TK2. Phosphorylates certain nucleoside analogs. Widely used as target of antiviral and chemotherapeutic agents.

Involvement in disease:

Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 3 (MTDPS3); Portal hypertension, non-cirrhotic (NCPH); Progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal recessive 4 (PEOB4)

Relevance:

Required for the phosphorylation of several deoxyribonucleosides and certain nucleoside analogs widely ployed as antiviral and chotherapeutic agents.

Reconstitution:

We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20℃/-80℃. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference.
