MOLECULAR CLONING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF TAUROCYAMINE KINASE FROM CLONORCHIS SINENSIS: A CANDIDATE CHEMOTHERAPEUTIC TARGET.

Molecular cloning and characterization of taurocyamine kinase from Clonorchis sinensis: a candidate chemotherapeutic target.

BACKGROUND: Adult Clonorchis sinensis lives in the bile duct and causes endemic clonorchiasis in East Asian countries.Phosphagen kinases (PK) constitute a highly conserved family of enzymes, which play a role in ATP buffering in cells, and are potential targets for chemotherapeutic agents, since variants of PK are found only in invertebrate animals
