Ckm Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables creatine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within phosphocreatine biosynthetic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; musculature; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CKM (creatine kinase, M-type).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ckm often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
