Creatine Kinase (CK) Flashcards
storage of high-energy creatine phosphate in muscle
Creatine kinase
high energy resorvoir for muscles
Creatine phosphate
Creatine kinase is widely distributed; high activities in
Skeletal muscle, Brain, Heart
Creatine kinase structure
dimeric enzyme
2 monomer subunits of CK
Brain
Muscle
Enzymatic Reaction of CK
Creatine + ATP –> Creatine phosphate + ADP
CK-3 (MM)
Muscle Type
Slowest to migrate towards anode
CK-3 Muscle Type
CK-3 is found in
Striated muscles
Healthy individuals
CK-2 (MB)
Hybrid Type
Second fastest to migrate towards anode
CK-2 (MB)
CK-2 (MB) is found in
Heart tissue
Cardiac muscles
CK-1 (BB)
Brain Type
CK-1 is found in
CNS
GI tract
Uterus
type of CK isoenzyme that is least found in healthy individuals
CK-1 (BB)
Fastest to migrate towards anode
CK-1 (BB)
Improves test specificity;
Isoenzyme measurement
Total CK
CK-1, CK-2, CK-3
After MI, CK-MB values:
Rise, Peak, Normalize
Rise: 4-8 hrs
Peak: 12-24 hrs
Normalize: 48 hrs-72 hrs (3 days)
Among AMI markers, CK-MB is the last enzyme to elevate
True or false
False (CK-MB IS THE FIRST ENZYME TO ELEVATE IN AMI)
first PROTEIN to elevate upon onset of AMI
Myoglobin (faster than CK-MB)
Reference value of CK-MM
94%-98%
Reference value of CK-MB
2%-6%
Increased CK-BB indicates
CSF leakage; Blood Brain Barrier damage
