Recombinant human Creatine kinase B/CKB protein
CKB (Creatine kinase B-type) is a cytoplasmic enzyme involved in energy homeostasis. The protein reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens such as creatine phosphate. It acts as a homodimer in brain as well as in other tissues, and as a heterodimer with a similar muscle isozyme in heart. Creatine kinases provide the energy of phosphate hydrolysis necessary to drive the normal function of many cellular systems including muscle, tumor and cancer cells. Recombinant human CKB protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography technique
