SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	involved in energy homeostasis
	reversibly catalyzing the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens such as creatine phosphate
	playing a central role in energy transduction in tissues with large, fluctuating energy demands, such as skeletal muscle, heart, brain and spermatozoa
	playing an important role in the bone-resorbing function of osteoclasts
	regulates mature osteoclast activity, including the formation and maintenance of the actin sealing ring and the activities of V-ATPase and RhoA
	contribute to osteoclast function
	downregulation of CKB may play an important role in colon cancer progression by promoting EMT
	AMPK and CKB cooperate under energy stress to compensate for loss of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by either stimulating ATP-generating and inhibiting ATP-consuming pathways
	localized CKB plays a key role in myotube formation by limiting myoblast fusion during myogenesis

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

energetic

signaling

a component

homodimerizing or heterodimerizing with CKM

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	CKB interacts with ASB9 in a specific, SOCS box-independent manner
	HPCA specifically bound to CKB in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner, but not to the muscle-type CKM subunit
	ASB9 binds to creatine kinase (CKB) and targets it for degradation

REGULATION

induced by	in mature osteoclasts, and by TNFSF11 during osteoclastogenesis

repressed by

PARP1 (activity of PARP1 was determined to be required for its inhibitory effect on the CKB expression)
