Heterogeneity of Escherichia coli-expressed human muscle creatine kinase.

Abstract excerpt

Creatine kinase (CK) plays an important role in maintaining a constant ATP:ADP ratio during periods of high energy usage. Elevated levels of CK give an early indication of myocardial infarction. The enzyme has four major isozymes with heterogeneity being observed for each of them. In many cases the source of the heterogeneity is unclear. However, some of the isoforms are known to result from exposure to serum...
