Product Description
Human Creatine Kinase Muscle, also known as CK-MM, is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the energy metabolism of skeletal muscle. Belonging to the creatine kinase family, CK-MM is responsible for catalyzing the reversible transfer of a phosphate group between creatine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), facilitating the rapid regeneration of ATP during intense muscle contraction. With a weight of approximately 43 kDa, this isoform of creatine kinase is specifically found in skeletal muscle tissue, making it a valuable marker for muscle-related diseases and disorders. Its precise measurement and analysis are of great significance in clinical diagnostics and research studies related to muscular pathologies.
