adenosine kinase

Gene Summary

Enables adenosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including adenosine metabolic process; circadian regulation of gene expression; and type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Used to study brain infarction. Biomarker of temporal lobe epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypermethioninemia due to adenosine kinase deficiency. Orthologous to human ADK (adenosine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]
