Product Overview
BioVenic mouse monoclonal antibody is specific for porcine mitochondrial creatine kinase. It can be applied to WB assay of porcine mitochondrial creatine kinase.
Specifications
Target Information
Mitochondrial creatine kinase (uMtCK), also known as ubiquitous mitochondrial creatine kinase, is an enzyme that plays a pivotal role in energy metabolism within the mitochondria of cells. This isoform of creatine kinase is found across various tissues, including heart and skeletal muscle, where it helps maintain energy homeostasis by catalyzing the transfer of a high-energy phosphate group from phosphocreatine to ADP, thereby generating ATP. uMtCK is particularly crucial during periods of high energy demand, such as muscle contraction or intense physical activity. Its function ensures that ATP is efficiently produced to meet the cell's immediate energy needs, supporting the cell's ability to perform work.
