Abstract
The enzyme ATP: creatine N-phosphotransferase catalyses the reversible transfer of a phosphate residue in high energy bonding between adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and creatine. It is classified as E.C. No. 2.7.3.2 in the enzyme catalogue; the short term used is creatine kinase (abbreviation CK). In the past the term creatine phosphokinase (abbreviation CPK) was used — as it still sometimes is in the English speaking countries.
