CINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme which consists of isoenzymes mainly of the muscle (CK-M) and
the brain (CK-B). CK exists in serum in dimeric form as CK-MM, CK-MB, CK-BB and as macro en-
zyme. Elevated CK values are observed in cardiac muscle damages and in skeletal muscle diseases.
Measurement of CK is used especially in conjunction with CK-MB for diagnosis and monitoring of
myocardial infarction.
PRINCIPLE
Kinetic determination of creatine kinase reactivated by N-acetylcysteine according to the following
reactions:
Creatine phosphate + ADP
CK
Creatine + ATP
D- Glucose + ATP
HK
D-Glucose- 6 P + ADP
D-Glucose-6-phosphate- NADP
G-6PDH
D-Gluconate-6-P+ NADPH+H
CK = creatine kinase
HK= Hexokinase
G-6-PDH=Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The catalytic activity of CK is determined by mea-
suring the rate of appearance of NADPH+H+ at 340 nm.
