target relevance
Mitochondrial Creatine Kinase (MtCK) is responsible for the transfer of high energy phosphate from mitochondria to the cytosolic carrier, creatine, and exists in mammals as two isoenzymes encoded by separate genes. In rats and humans, sarcomere-specific MtCK (sMtCK) is expressed only in skeletal and heart muscle, and has 87% nucleotide identity across the 1257 bp coding region.
Protein names Creatine kinase S-type, mitochondrial (EC 2.7.3.2) (Basic-type mitochondrial creatine kinase) (Mib-CK) (Sarcomeric mitochondrial creatine kinase) (S-MtCK)
Protein family ATP:guanido phosphotransferase family
Mass 47504Da
Function Reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens (e.g. creatine phosphate). Creatine kinase isoenzymes play a central role in energy transduction in tissues with large, fluctuating energy demands, such as skeletal muscle, heart, brain and spermatozoa.
Catalytic activity CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Reaction=ATP + creatine = ADP + H(+) + N-phosphocreatine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17157, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:57947, ChEBI:CHEBI:58092, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.3.2; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10029};
Subellular location Mitochondrion inner membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Intermembrane side.
Tissues Sarcomere-specific. Found only in heart and skeletal muscles.
Structure Exists as an octamer composed of four CKMT2 homodimers. {ECO:0000269|Ref.5}.
