| Name | CK-MB |
| Description | Creatine kinase (CK) catalyzes the transfer of phosphate group between creatine phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP). The product of this reaction is adenosine triphosphate (ATP) – molecular source of energy. CK is a dimmer, composed of two different subunits called M and B. Three different isoenzymes formed from these subunits are found in brain and smooth muscle (BB), skeletal muscle (MM) and cardiac muscle (MM and MB). Increased CKMB serum level is a strong marker of myocardial infarction. |
| Principle | Optimized kinetic method according to International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) with use of antibodies against CK-M fraction. Specific antibodies against CK-M inhibit the complete CK-MM activity (which is the main part of total CK activity) and the CK-M subunit of CK-MB. Only CK-B activity is measured. |
