    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    NADK Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total NADK protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human NADK protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    NADK, also known as NAD kinase, is a cytoplasmic protein responsible for maintaining the pool of available NADP+ and NADPH within the cell (1). Using ATP as a phosphate donor, NADK catalyzes the phosphorylation of NAD+ to NADP+. This molecule is then reduced to NADPH and utilized in various metabolic and biosynthetic pathways (2). NADK has been suggested to play a role in glucose metabolism due to the effect NADPH production has on both the insulin secretion and survival of pancreatic β-cells (3). NADPH has a vital role in protecting cells from oxidative stress through its neutralizing effect on reactive oxygen species (ROS), which also accumulate during cell growth (2-4). Along with the p53 tumor suppression protein, NADK has been a suggested target in cancer therapy due to its link to NADPH production and its resulting protective role on growing and proliferating cells (2).
