adenylate kinase /aden·yl·ate ki·nase/ (ki´nās) an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of two molecules of ADP to AMP and ATP; it occurs predominantly in muscle, providing energy for muscle contraction.

adenylate kinase

An enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of one molecule of ADP by another, yielding ATP and AMP.

adenylate kinase,

an enzyme in skeletal muscle that makes possible the reaction ATP + AMP = 2ADP. Also called myokinase.

adenylate

a salt, anion or ester of adenylic acid.

adenylate cyclase

an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and inorganic pyrophosphate. It is activated by the attachment of a hormone or neurotransmitter to a specific membrane-bound receptor.

adenylate kinase

enzyme catalyzing the conversion of two moles of ADP to ATP and AMP, thereby equilibrating ADP with ATP and AMP. Controls the adenylate energy charge of a cell, particularly muscle cells. Called also myokinase.
