CKMT1A Recombinant Protein

Source : E.coli. CKMT1A Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 403 amino acids (40-417) and having a molecular mass of 45.0 kDa.CKMT1A is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. CKMT1A is in charge of the transfer of high energy phosphate from mitochondria to the cytosolic carrier, creatine. CKMT1A is a member of the creatine kinase isoenzyme family and exists as two isoenzymes, sarcomeric MtCK and ubiquitous MtCK, encoded by separate genes. Mitochondrial creatine kinase arises in two different oligomeric forms: dimers and octamers, unlike the exclusively dimeric cytosolic creatine kinase isoenzymes. Numerous malignant cancers with poor prognosis have displayed overexpression of ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase which is linked to high energy turnover and inability to remove cancer cells through apoptosis.
