epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-86 mapping at the N-terminus of Riboflavin kinase of human origin
Modification Notes
Riboflavin kinase, also known as RFK or RIFK, is a cytoplasmic protein that catalyzes the first step in flavocoenzyme biosynthesis, namely the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of riboflavin to form flavin-mononucleotide (FMN). Expressed in the brain, placenta and bladder, Riboflavin kinase is a 162 amino acid protein for which zinc and magnesium are cofactors. Riboflavin kinase has three distinct conformational states that are referred to as the binary MgADP complex, the ternary product complex and the apo form, all of which contribute to the unique substrate binding and catalytic activity of the enzyme. Human Riboflavin kinase shares 44% homology with its yeast counterpart, suggesting that the three flexible regions surrounding the active site (termed Flap I, Flap II and Helix B) are similar in both species.
