Product Specs

Introduction
Creatine Kinase (CK) exists as three isoenzymes (MM, MB, and BB) distributed in muscle, cardiac, and brain tissues. These recombinant CK proteins serve as valuable tools for calibrating diagnostic instruments and supporting research on neuromuscular diseases. Their applications span a range of neuromuscular disorders, including cardiac diseases, mitochondrial disorders, inflammatory myopathies, myasthenia gravis, polymyositis, McArdle's disease, neuromuscular junction disorders, muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), thyroid disorders, central core disease, acid maltase deficiency, myoglobinuria, rhabdomyolysis, motor neuron diseases, rheumatic diseases, and other conditions characterized by abnormal creatine kinase levels.
Description
CKMT3 Human Recombinant is a glycosylated polypeptide chain produced in Pichia Pastoris. This recombinant protein exhibits an identical amino acid sequence to the native CKMT3 enzyme. Purified under non-denaturing conditions, it demonstrates reactivity with polyclonal antibodies specific to the MM isoenzyme in ELISA assays. The purification process for CKMT3 involves proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless liquid.
Formulation
The protein formulation contains 20mM Tris pH 8.0, 1mM EDTA, and 1mM DTT for each mg of protein.
Stability
While CKMT3 remains stable at 15°C for up to 7 days, storage below -18°C is recommended. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided.
Purity
The purity is greater than 95.0% as determined by: (a) Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) analysis and (b) Sodium dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis.
Biological Activity
The biological activity, assessed using the Creatine Phosphokinase assay procedure No. 45-UV (1 IU = 1 µmole creatine phosphate), was determined to be 500 IU/mg at 37°C. This corresponds to a specific activity of 2,000 ng/ml.
Synonyms
Creatine kinase M-type, EC 2.7.3.2, Creatine kinase M chain, M-CK, CKM, CKMM, CKMMITIII.

Product Science Overview

Isoforms of Creatine Kinase

CK exists in three isoforms:

  1. CK-MM: Found predominantly in skeletal muscle.
  2. CK-MB: Found in cardiac muscle.
  3. CK-BB: Found in brain tissue .
Creatine Kinase Muscle Type-3 (CKMT3)

CKMT3 is a specific isoform of CK that is primarily found in muscle tissues. It is encoded by the CKM gene, which has been associated with various pathologies, including muscle damage and neuromuscular diseases .

Human Recombinant CKMT3

Recombinant human CKMT3 is produced using E. coli expression systems. This recombinant protein is used for various research and diagnostic purposes, including:

  • Calibrating diagnostic instruments: Ensuring accurate measurement of CK levels in clinical settings .
  • Researching neuromuscular diseases: Studying the role of CK in muscle function and disease .
Applications and Importance

The recombinant form of CKMT3 is highly purified and has a specific activity that makes it suitable for biochemical assays. It is used in:

  • Biochemical assays: To measure the enzyme’s activity and understand its role in energy metabolism .
  • Clinical diagnostics: As a biomarker for muscle damage and other related conditions .
