Gene: CKB
Alternate names for this Gene: B-CK|BCK|CKBB|CPK-B|HEL-211|HEL-S-29
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic enzyme involved in energy homeostasis. The encoded protein reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens such as creatine phosphate. It acts as a homodimer in brain as well as in other tissues, and as a heterodimer with a similar muscle isozyme in heart. The encoded protein is a member of the ATP:guanido phosphotransferase protein family. A pseudogene of this gene has been characterized.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 14
Location in Chromosome : 14q32.33
Description of this Gene: creatine kinase B
Type of Gene: protein-coding
