Adenylate kinase (AK) plays a crucial role in the metabolic monitoring of cellular adenine nucleotide homeostasis by catalyzing the reversible transfer of a phosphate group between ATP and AMP, yielding two ADP molecules. By regulating the nucleotide levels and energy metabolism, the enzyme is considered a disease modifier and potential therapeutic target for various human diseases, including malignancies
