Abnormal electrophoretic mobility of a creatine kinase MM isoenzyme.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The routine determination of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) isoenzymes has recently gained acceptance as a diagnostic tool in laboratory medicine (13). Electrophoreticaily three distinct CK isoenzymes can be separated (4, 5). These dimeric bands have been identified throughout the literature as MM, MB, and BB, and originate mainly from skeletal muscle, heart, and brain tissues, respectively. We would like to report a patient with a serum CK MM isoenzyme, which, when mixed with other serum proteins, migrates on cellulose acetate with an electrophoretic mobility intermediate to that of the normal MM and MB.

Metastable creatine kinase MM and complexes of creatine kinase BB and immunoglobulin G, "atypical" isoenzymes with similar electrophoretic mobility.
Metastable creatine kinase MM isoenzyme was isolated and partially purified from homogenates of myocardium and skeletal muscle by gradient elution on carboxymethyl cellulose. This variant isoenzyme migrated between the MM and MB isoenzymes on agarose electrophoresis, accounted for 3.5% of the total creatine kinase activity in each tissue, was not a macromolecule, and had stable electrophoretic ...
متن کاملIdentification of a 43-kDa polypeptide associated with acetylcholine receptor-enriched membranes as MM creatine kinase.
Creatine kinase isoenzymes from Torpedo californica electric organ, skeletal muscle, and brain were purified and characterized. Torpedo electric organ and skeletal muscle creatine kinase have identical apparent Mr, electrophoretic mobility, and cyanogen bromide fragments. The electrophoretic mobility of the Torpedo creatine kinase was anodal as compared to mammalian MM creatine kinase. No creat...
متن کاملFurther heterogeneity demonstrated for serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MM.
Serum creatine kinase (EC 2.1.3.2) isoenzyme MM was resolved by isoelectric focusing into a five-band pattern, a pattern that gradually changed after the onset of myocardial infarction. Similar changes were also demonstrated in patients undergoing coronary-bypass surgery. The evolution of two CK-MB sub-bands was studied in both cases. We found that three electrophoretic bands (CK-MM, pI 7.10; M...
متن کاملNatural fluorescence in serum of patients with chronic renal failure not to be confused with creatine kinase-BB isoenzyme.
We assessed the reported presence of creatine kinase-BB isoenzyme in the serum of patients with chronic renal failure. Our study showed that the blood of these patients contains a fluorescent material with an electrophoretic mobility similar to that of the BB isoenzyme on cellulose acetate strips. The fluorescing material is, however, completely distinct from BB isoenzyme and its nature is as y...
متن کاملIncreased concentrations of free fatty acids and glycerol and altered creatine kinase MM isoenzyme patterns in certain diabetic patients.
We report unusually high concentrations of free fatty acids and glycerol in sera of patients with adult-onset diabetes, and the accompanying alterations in creatine kinase isoenzyme MM patterns associated with such patients. The serum samples with increased free fatty acids also showed increased electrophoretic movement of the MM isoenzyme on cellulose acetate membranes. Fatty acid concentratio...
