kinase The phenotype of 'gene knockout' mice deficient in a creatine kinase isoform sheds new
light on the physiological function of the 'phosphocreatine circuit'. All living organisms require
energy to survive and carry out the multitude of tasks that characterize biological activity.
Cellular energy demand and supply are generally balanced and tightly regulated for economy
and efficiency of energy use. The enzyme creatine kinase plays a key role in the energy …
