The first three numbers of its EC number indicate that it is a phosphotransferase with a nitrogenous group as the acceptor. CK is a very important enzyme for all organisms, as it catalyzes the conversion of creatine into phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine is used as an energy source for high energy need cells such as smooth muscle cells. CK is clinically relevant in blood serum assays in that an elevated CK level might indicate muscle wasting or myocardial infarction.

Creatine Kinase

Creatine Kinase (CK), sometimes referred to as Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK), is an enzyme (EC 2.7.3.2). CK is classified as a transferase, which means it facilitates the transfer of a group from one molecule to another. 

                                           AX + B ---> A + BX

The first three numbers of its EC number indicate that it is a phosphotransferase with a nitrogenous group as the acceptor. CK is a very important enzyme for all organisms, as it catalyzes the conversion of creatine into phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine is used as an energy source for high energy need cells such as smooth muscle cells. CK is clinically relevant in blood serum assays in that an elevated CK level might indicate muscle wasting or myocardial infarction. Image:500px-Creatine kinase rxn.png
