Abstract excerpt
Creatine kinase (CK) is a key enzyme for cellular energy metabolism, catalyzing the reversible phosphoryl transfer from phosphocreatine to ADP in vertebrates. Due to its important physiological functions, the acquired CK somatic mutations are closely correlated to diseases. In this study, the E79G point mutation was identified in two acute myocardial infarction patients with muscle CK activity deficiency. The...
