What if one enzyme could link metabolism, epigenetics, and therapy across conditions as diverse as epilepsy, cancer, and inflammation? In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of adenosine kinase (ADK), an ancient enzyme that controls adenosine levels, energy balance, and even DNA methylation. Dr Detlev Boison join us to discuss their recent review in the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, which reframes ADK not just as a metabolic regulator, but as a potential epigenetic drug target. From seizure suppression to cancer immunology, ADK sits at a crossroads, and could be a future key to metabolic and epigenetic medicine.
