Creatine kinase is predominantly found in cardiac muscles and also in the skeletal muscles. It catalysis the conversion of creatine and utilizes the adenosine triphosphate to create phosphocreatine and adenosine diphosphate .Phosphocreatine serves for the rapid buffering and regeneration of ATP.This creatine kinase exist in three forms known as isoenzymes:CK-MM,CK-BB,and CK-MB.CK-MM is present in the skeletal muscle and myocardium,CK-BB is present in the brain and CK-MB is present in the myocardium. Therefore, in the case of myocardial infarction there will be slightly increase of the CK-MB in the
