Function
Mitochondria-specific nucleoside diphosphate kinase that catalyzes the transfer of a gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to a nucleoside diphosphate via a ping-pong mechanism involving a phosphohistidine intermediate, participating in nucleoside triphosphate homeostasis. In vitro, purine nucleoside triphosphates are much more effective as donors and acceptors than pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphates, and ribonucleosides derivatives are superior to their deoxyribonucleosides counterparts. Associates with cardiolipin-containing mitochondrial inner membrane and locally produces ADP in the mitochondrial intermembrane space, which is directly taken up via the ADP/ATP translocase (ANT) into the matrix to stimulate respiratory ATP regeneration.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Mitochondrion intermembrane space (Peripheral membrane protein); Mitochondrion matrix; Mitochondrion outer membrane
Tissue Specificity: Widely distributed. Found at very high levels in prostate, heart, liver, small intestine, and skeletal muscle tissues, and in low amounts in the brain and in blood leukocytes
