CKM is a cytoplasmic enzyme involved in cellular energy homeostasis. The encoded protein reversibly catalyzes the transfer of "energy-rich" phosphate between ATP and creatine and between phospho-creatine and ADP. Its functional entity is a MM-CK homodimer in striated (sarcomeric) skeletal and cardiac muscle.In heart, in addition to the MM-CK homodimer also the heterodimer consisting of one muscle (MM-CK) and one brain-type (MB-CK) subunit is expressed. This latter is an important serum marker for myocardial infarction, for it is released from damaged myocardial cells into the blood where it can be detected by clinical chemistry. Since no other organ than cardiac muscle expresses significant levels of MB-CK, this clinical test is still fairly reliable, together with troponin-T, for diagnosing a myocardial infarction.
Mouse Creatine kinase M-type (CKM) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate CKM in samples. An antibody specific for CKM has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyCKM present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for CKM is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of CKM bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
