Medically reviewed by Richard N. Fogoros, MD Your body produces the enzyme creatine kinase (CK) or creatine phosphokinase to ...

A new study gives hope for improved treatment of prostate cancer, the second most diagnosed cancer among men worldwide.

Disruptions in the enzyme's activity play a key role in hearts becoming stiff. The group investigated the gene expression of 518 protein kinase enzymes, revealing ALPK2 as a heart-specific kinase ...

Researchers at the Harvard Medical School discovered that the enzyme GUK1 promotes lung cancer growth by boosting the ...

Signal binding to membrane receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) activates an enzyme called a kinase. Learn how kinases initiate a signaling cascade that relays information to the nucleus.

Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological condition, is characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissues outside the ...

Furthermore, they have demonstrated that it is possible to reprogram other cancer cells to become dependent on this enzyme – ...

Cardiac enzymes ― also known as cardiac biomarkers ― include myoglobin, troponin and creatine kinase. Historically, lactate dehydrogenase, or LDH, was also used but is non-specific.

Phosphorylation can either activate a protein (orange) or inactivate it (green). Kinase is an enzyme that phosphorylates proteins. Phosphatase is an enzyme that dephosphorylates proteins ...

Serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) give an indication of the degree of metabolic adaptation to physical training of skeletal muscles. Both enzymes are involved in muscle ...
