An E.coli-derived zebrafish Ckba/b recombinant protein (amino acids K7-K382) was used as the immunogen for the Zebrafish Ckb antibody. This antibody will detect the a and b isoforms.
Brain-type creatine kinase also known as CK-BB is a creatine kinase that in humans is encoded by the CKB gene. 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.
