Adenylate kinase activity originating from erythrocytes has been shown to be distinct from muscle adenylate kinase or myokinase activity, until now considered to be identical enzyme activities. The two activities can be differentiated by electrophoretic fractionation, thus making it possible to quantify the erythrocyte adenylate kinase activity present in serum.
