Creatine Kinase
We ate Sharp Labs Inc. have received numerous emails with reference to the term "Creatine Kinase". We have posted this page to hopefully explain this term a little better. "creatine Kinase" is basically a term that you will hear floating around in the medical field. This is not really something you hear discussed with respect to bodybuilding, fitness and sports supplements. Below there are a few basic definitions of Creatine Kinase. Our team at Sharp Labs Inc. do hope this helps clear up the "Kinase" conflict. Thanks again for visting!
DEFINITION 1
Creatine Kinase an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of creatine by ATP to form phosphocreatine. It occurs as three isozymes (specific to brain, cardiac and skeletal muscle, respectively). Each isozyme has two components composed of muscle (M) and brain (B) subunits - CK1 (BB) is found primarily in brain, CK2 (MB) in cardiac muscle and CK3 (MM) primarily in skeletal muscle. Differential determination of isozymes is used in clinical diagnosis.
DEFINITION 2
An enzyme found in cells, especially muscle cells. Normal levels are up to about 200iu/L. In cases of muscle membrane breakdown, the enzyme leaks out of the cell. This may occur form any type of muscle trauma, including malignant Hyperthermia. After surgery CK levels may normally rise to 1,000 to 2,000IU/L. When there is severe muscle damage the level may rise to 10,000 or more. ...
DEFINITION 3
This muscle enzyme is used to provide a component of the energy source in muscle. Muscle breakdown leads to elevated levels of CK in the blood.
DEFINITION 4
Creatine kinase (CK), also known as phosphocreatine kinase or creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is an enzyme (EC 2.7.3.2) expressed by various tissue types. Its function is the catalysis of the conversion of creatine to phosphocreatine, consuming adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and generating adenosine diphosphate (ADP.
