Human Recombinant CKMM

CK-MM is an isozyme of creatine kinase (CK). Cytosolic CK enzymes consist of two subunits, which can be either B (brain type) or M (muscle type). CK-MM is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle and can also be detected in heart muscle. It catalyses the conversion of creatine and consumes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create phosphocreatine and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Creatine kinase is measured as a marker of myocardial infarction (heart attack), rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown), muscular dystrophy, etc.
