| UniProt Protein Function: | CKM: Reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens (e.g. creatine phosphate). Creatine kinase isoenzymes play a central role in energy transduction in tissues with large, fluctuating energy demands, such as skeletal muscle, heart, brain and spermatozoa. Belongs to the ATP:guanido phosphotransferase family. |
| UniProt Protein Details: | Protein type:Amino Acid Metabolism - arginine and proline; Kinase, other; EC 2.7.3.2 Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19q13.32 Cellular Component: cytosol Molecular Function:creatine kinase activity; ATP binding Biological Process: phosphocreatine biosynthetic process; phosphorylation; creatine metabolic process |
| NCBI Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic enzyme involved in energy homeostasis and is an important serum marker for myocardial infarction. The encoded protein reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens such as creatine phosphate. It acts as a homodimer in striated muscle as well as in other tissues, and as a heterodimer with a similar brain isozyme in heart. The encoded protein is a member of the ATP:guanido phosphotransferase protein family. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
