Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of
creatine. It is found mainly in skeletal muscle fibers,
cardiomyocytes and in the brain.
Cytoplasmic CK exists in the form of 3 isoenzymes, which are
dimers composed of the M (muscle) and B (brain) subunits:
CK-MM, CK-MB, CK-BB. The parameter complements the diagnosis of fresh myocardial infarction
myocardium.
Increased levels of CK-MB are also found in:
- ventricular tachycardia,
- myocarditis,
- heart trauma,
- pulmonary embolism,
- during the use of cardiotoxic drugs,
CK-MB mass indicates the concentration of CK-MB protein expressed in
units of mass (µg/l)
