Adenosine‐AMP exchange activity is an integral part of the mammalian adenosine kinase
Abstract
Purified adenosine kinase (AK) from Syrian hamster and bovine liver was examined for the presence of adenosine (Ad)-AMP exchange activity. The enzyme from both sources, in addition to catalyzing the conventional ATP-dependent phosphorylation of adenosine, supported an Ad-AMP exchange reaction that required ADP. Under optimal conditions both these reactions were found to occur at comparable rates. Several observations strongly indicate that the …
