| Application: | Acetate Kinase from Escherichia coli has been used in assessing acetate kinase activity during the fermatation process of Gluconacetobacter xylinus and in kinetic modeling and steady state studies. |
| Application: | Acetate kinase is used to phosphorylate acetate to acetyl phosphate. Acetate Kinase from Escherichia coli has been used as part of an ATP-regenerating system to study the kinetics of agonist-stimulated transphosphatidylation . |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Acetate kinase plays an important role in glycolysis. Acetate kinase phosphorylates acetate in the presence of ATP and a divalent cation, which ultimately results in the production of acetyl-CoA . Acetate kinase is also involved in the metabolism of propanoate, pyruvate and taurine. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Involved in the metabolism of propanoate, pyruvate and taurine |
| General description: | Acetate kinase belongs to acetate and sugar kinase/Hsc70/actin (ASKHA) structural superfamily. It exists as a dimer and has nucleotide binding site in the cleft between N and C-terminal domain. |
| Other Notes: | One unit will phosphorylate 1.0 μmole of acetate to acetyl phosphate per min at pH 7.6 at 25 °C. |
| Physical form: | Lyophilized powder containing trehalose with small amounts of potassium phosphate, magnesium chloride, and dithiothreitol |
