Native Pig Creatine Kinase, Muscle

• Cat.No.: CKM-368P
• Product Overview: Native Pig CKM wasexpressed in porcine heart.

Specification

• Cat. No.: CKM-368P
• Description: Creatine Kinase(CKM) catalyses the conversion of Creatine and consumes AdenosineTriphosphate (ATP) to create Phosphocreatine and Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP).This CKM enzyme reaction is reversible, such that also ATP can be generatedfrom PCr and ADP. In tissues and cells that consume ATP rapidly, especiallyskeletal muscle, but also brain, photoreceptor cells of the retina, haircells of the inner ear, spermatozoa and smooth muscle, phosphocreatine servesas an energy reservoir for the rapid buffering and regeneration of ATP insitu, as well as for intracellular energy transport by the phosphocreatineshuttle or circuit. Thus creatine kinase is an important enzyme in suchtissues. Clinically, creatine kinase is assayed in blood tests as a marker ofmyocardial infarction (heart attack), rhabdomyolysis (severe musclebreakdown), muscular dystrophy, and in acute renal failure.
