Ckmt1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables creatine kinase activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cerebellum development; digestive tract development; and skeletal muscle tissue development. Located in mitochondrial inner-outer membrane contact site and perikaryon. Biomarker of status epilepticus. Orthologous to several human genes including CKMT1B (creatine kinase, mitochondrial 1B).

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 rat Ckmt1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • creatine kinase
  • ATP:guanido phosphotransferase, N-terminal domain
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
  • ATP:guanido phosphotransferase, C-terminal catalytic domain
