Antigen Description
Carbohydrate kinase domain containing protein, also known as CARKD, is a human protein of unknown function. The protein is conserved throughout many species, and has predicted orthologs through eukaryotes, bacteria, and archea. CARKD (carbohydrate kinase domain containing) is a protein-coding gene, and is affiliated with the lncRNA class. Diseases associated with CARKD include tuberculosis. GO annotations related to this gene include ATP-dependent NAD(P)H-hydrate dehydratase activity and molecular_function. Catalyzes the dehydration of the S-form of NAD(P)HX at the expense of ATP, which is converted to ADP. Together with NAD(P)HX epimerase, which catalyzes the epimerization of the S- and R-forms, the enzyme allows the repair of both epimers of NAD(P)HX, a damaged form of NAD(P)H that is a result of enzymatic or heat-dependent hydration (By similarity).
