Creatine Kinase - Creatine Phosphokinase (CK or CPK)

General What "and Why it is measured Normal values ​​High creatine kinase - Causes Low creatine kinase - Causes How it is measured Preparation Interpretation of results (CK) or creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is an enzyme found mainly in skeletal muscle tissue and heart fibers.
Its main task is to "facilitate" some chemical reactions, which take place physiologically in our organism. More specifically, creatine kinase allows the conversion of creatine into phosphocreatine, in order to consume ATP and generate highly usable energy.
