NAD Kinase (M. tuberculosis) (rec.) (His)

Product description: Protein. NAD kinase (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) is fused at the N-terminus to a His-tag. Source: E. coli. Endotoxin content: N/A. Liquid. In 10mM TRIS at pH 8.0, containing 1mM MgCl2, 0.5mM EDTA, 1mM DTT and 1mM PMSF. Purity: >98% (SDS-PAGE). NAD kinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to NAD+ to generate NADP+, which in its reduced form acts as an electron donor for biosynthetic reactions. NADP+ is an essential coenzyme in metabolism and provides reducing power to biosynthetic processes such as fatty acid biosynthesis. NAD kinase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is not ATP-dependent but has a broader substrate specificity than human NAD kinase. It can economically produce NADP+ by using other nucleoside triphosphates as well as inorganic polyphosphate as a source of phosphorus. Was identified as a high-confidence drug target. Catalytic activity: ATP + NAD+ = ADP + NADP+
