Creatine kinase-M Antibody (MM) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects creatine kinase-M in mouse, rat, and human samples through western blotting (WB). Creatine kinase-M, also known as CK-M, is a muscle tissue-specific isoform of creatine kinase that plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by catalyzing the transfer of phosphate from creatine to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thereby regenerating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during periods of high energy demand. This function is particularly important in muscle cells, where ATP is essential for muscle contraction and overall cellular function. The regulation of ATP levels by creatine kinase-M is vital for maintaining energy homeostasis, especially during intense physical activity or stress. Additionally, creatine kinase-M is localized in the cytoplasm of muscle cells, which allows for rapid access to ATP when needed, highlighting its significance in muscle physiology and pathophysiology. Anti-creatine kinase-M antibody (MM) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying muscle metabolism, energy regulation, and related disorders, providing insights into the underlying mechanisms of muscle function and disease.
