Creatine Kinase is an enzyme found in the blood, which is responsible for the production of cellular energy, and metabolic activities in the cells. CK is found in the heart, muscles, and other organs which include the brain, intestines, and uterus. They are released into the blood during muscle damage.
There are three types of Creatine Kinase enzymes, found in different parts of the body:
- CK-MB- Found in the heart muscle
