ADK, Native (Chicken)
Alias
ADK; myokinase
Source
Chicken muscle
Species
Chicken
Form
essentially salt-free, lyophilized powder

Unit Definition
One unit will convert 2.0 μmoles of ADP to ATP+AMP per min at pH 7.6 at 37°C.
Applications
Myokinase from chicken muscle has been used in a study to assess the release of enzymes via acute myositis and neurogenic atrophy in muscles. It has also been used in a study to investigate the development of sarcoplasmic reticulum membranes in chicken pectoralis muscle cells.
