Acetate Kinase from Escherichia coli lyophilized powder

Names

[ Name ]:
Acetate Kinase from Escherichia coli lyophilized powder

[Synonym ]:
MFCD00130330

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Acetate kinase is an enzyme widely distributed in bacteria and archaea. In the presence of ATP and divalent cations, it catalyzes the phosphorylation of acetate and promotes the production of acetyl-CoA. Often used in biochemical research[1].
