It has been firstly demonstrated that rat heart and skeletal muscle nuclei contain creatine dinase, one of the most important enzymes of energy metabolism. The nuclei isolated in concentrated sucrose were practically free from cytoplasm and mitochondrial fragments. Electrophoresis in acetyl cellulose revealed that the nuclear extracts from rat heart and skeletal muscles contain only one isoenzyme of creatine kinase similar in mobility to the mitochondrial isoenzyme. The magnitude of Km values for creatine kinase from the nuclei of both tissues was determined. It was shown histochemically that creatine kinase is localized inside the nuclei, predominantly in the sites of chromatin location. A possible role of the enzyme in nuclear metabolism is discussed.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
