CKB Recombinant Human produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 401 amino acids (1-381 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 44.8 kDa. The CKB is fused to 20 amino acid His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
CKB is a cytoplasmic enzyme that takes part in energy homeostasis. CKB enzyme reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate among ATP and various phosphogens such as creatine phosphate. CKB functions as a homodimer in the brain as well as in different tissues, and as a heterodimer with a similar muscle isozyme in heart. Creatine kinases supply the energy of phosphate hydrolysis essential to drive the normal role of many cellular systems including muscle, tumor and cancer cells.
