CKM
Description
The CKM (creatine kinase, M-type) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 19.
CKM can refer to Creatine kinase M-type, an enzyme involved in energy production.
CKM (Creatine kinase M-type) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in energy production within cells. It catalyzes the reversible transfer of a phosphate group between ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and phosphogens, such as creatine phosphate. This process is essential for maintaining energy levels in tissues with high energy demands, like skeletal muscle, heart, brain, and sperm.
CKM is also known as CKMM, CPK-M, M-CK.
