step 4
Irreversible/directional
Adenosine → AMP
› Notes
Adenosine kinase catalyzes adenosine + ATP → AMP + ADP. This ATP-dependent route is important for recycling adenosine and for terminating extracellular/intracellular adenosine signaling after uptake; it is not a PRPP-dependent reaction.

Purine Salvage Pathway
Accelerated by
Adenosine availability
Inhibited by
High AMP/ADP burden and product effects; limited by ATP availability
Hormonal control
Expression varies with tissue state; no canonical endocrine allosteric regulator.
