Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme found in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle that helps cells produce high-energy molecules for normal functions. Elevated CK levels in the blood can indicate neuromuscular diseases, infarction, acute renal failure, and rhabdomyolosis. Regular monitoring is recommended for those taking statins. Creatine kinase, or CK, is an enzyme found […]
Kinases transfer phosphate groups to substrates, activating cellular processes. Kinase phosphorylation involves protein kinases and coenzymes like ATP. Specific amino acids act as substrates, with serine being the most common. Dysfunctions in kinase phosphorylation can lead to uncontrolled cell growth and cancer. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors can block these malfunctions. Kinases are catalysing enzymes that transfer […]
