Creatine kinase (CK) â also known as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) or phospho-creatine kinase â is an enzyme (EC 2.7.3.2) expressed by various tissues and cell types.CK catalyses the conversion of creatine and utilizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create phosphocreatine (PCr) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP).n the cells, the cytosolic CK enzymes consist of two subunits, which can be either B (brain type) or M (muscle type). There are, therefore, three different isoenzymes: CK-MM, CK-BB and CK-MB. The genes for these subunits are located on different chromosomes: B on 14q32 and M on 19q13.
