Abnormal electrophoretic mobility of creatine kinase isoenzyme in serum of an otherwise healthy person. 1983

F V Alvarez, and S A Geijo, and A C Sánchez, and M T Dopico, and C G Bao

We describe the abnormal electrophoretic mobility of a creatine kinase isoenzyme in the serum of an apparently healthy individual. In agarose gel electrophoresis this isoenzyme migrates more toward the cathode than does the MM isoenzyme. It is more resistant to heat and more strongly inhibited by urea than the normal MM isoenzyme. We performed gel filtration, on a Sephadex G-200 column, of the patient's serum and observed two distinct isoenzymes with different relative molecular masses; a normal isoenzyme of 80,000 daltons and another abnormal one of 240,000 daltons. We performed serum immunoelectrophoresis but did not observe any immune complex formation involving the abnormal isoenzyme.

D007527 Isoenzymes Structurally related forms of an enzyme. Each isoenzyme has the same mechanism and classification, but differs in its chemical, physical, or immunological characteristics. Alloenzyme,Allozyme,Isoenzyme,Isozyme,Isozymes,Alloenzymes,Allozymes
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.
