| UniProt functional annotation for P04414 | |||
| UniProt code: P04414. |
| Organism: | Tetronarce californica (Pacific electric ray) (Torpedo californica). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Chondrichthyes; Elasmobranchii; Batoidea; Torpediniformes; Torpedinidae; Tetronarce. | |
| Function: | Reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens (e.g. creatine phosphate). Creatine kinase isoenzymes play a central role in energy transduction in tissues with large, fluctuating energy demands, such as skeletal muscle, heart, brain and spermatozoa. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=ATP + creatine = ADP + H(+) + N-phosphocreatine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:17157, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:57947, ChEBI:CHEBI:58092, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.3.2; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10029}; | |
| Subunit: | Dimer of identical or non-identical chains. With MM being the major form in skeletal muscle and myocardium, MB existing in myocardium, and BB existing in many tissues, especially brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12437342}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cytoplasm. | |
| Miscellaneous: | This electric ray muscle-specific creatine kinase (MM isozyme) is isolated from the electric organ, which derives embryologically from skeletal muscle. It may be involved in the electrical discharge process. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the ATP:guanido phosphotransferase family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00842, ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00843}. | |
