Creatine kinase regulates energy metabolism and growth of trophoblasts
2026-05-07
Abstract excerpt
Study question: Does the human placenta utilize the creatine phosphagen system for energy homeostasis during development? Summary answer: Components of the creatine (Cr)-creatine kinase (CK)-phosphocreatine (PCr) system are dynamically expressed by the trophoblast and mesenchymal compartments throughout gestation wherein creatine kinase is required for cellular ATP metabolism, cell cycle, and proliferation of tro...
