CK

creatine

[kre´ah-tin] a nonprotein substance synthesized in the body from three amino acids: arginine, glycine (aminoacetic acid), and methionine. Creatine readily combines with phosphate to form phosphocreatine, or creatine phosphate, which is present in muscle, where it serves as the storage form of high-energy phosphate necessary for muscle contraction.creatine kinase an enzyme catalyzing the transfer of a phosphate group from phosphocreatine to ATP. It has three isoenzymes: CK₁, found primarily in the brain; CK₂, found in the myocardium; and CK₃, found in both skeletal muscle and the myocardium. The presence of CK₂ in the blood is strongly indicative of a recent myocardial infarction; it is present until about 72 hours after the attack.
