    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
    • cell & other
    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)
