Micro Creatine Kinase (CK) Activity Assay Kit

Principle of the Assay: Creatine Kinase (CK, EC 2.7.3.2) mainly exists in the heart, muscle, brain and other tissues. It can reversibly catalyze the phosphorylation reaction between creatine and ATP. It plays an important role in energy operation, muscle contraction and ATP regeneration, and it is an important indicator for clinical identification of heart and brain diseases. CheKine™ Micro Creatine Kinase (CK) Activity Assay Kit provides a simple, convenient and rapid CK activity detection method, which is suitable for the detection of animal tissues, cells, serum and other samples. The principle is that CK catalyzes creatine phosphate and ADP to generate creatine and ATP, hexokinase catalyzes ATP and glucose to form 6-phosphate glucose, and 6-phosphate glucose dehydrogenase catalyzes 6-phosphate glucose and NADP+ to generate NADPH, there is a s characteristic absorption peak at 340 nm. The rate of NADPH increase at 340 nm can reflect CK activity.

Small volumes of CK assay kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS9719359 is an assay kit targeting CK. Also known as Micro Creatine Kinase (CK) Activity Assay Kit.
