NCIt definition : Human AK1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9q34.11 and is approximately
13 kb in length. This allele, which encodes adenylate kinase isoenzyme 1 protein,
is involved in energy metabolism and homeostasis of cellular adenine nucleotide. Loss
of function mutations in the gene are associated with hemolytic anemia due to adenylate
kinase deficiency.;
