Creatine kinase

🧬 AI profile — grown from 6ic coverage Creatine kinase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the body's energy production, particularly in muscle cells. It's responsible for transporting energy-rich phosphate groups from the mitochondria to the rest of the cell. In the context of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), creatine kinase levels are often elevated, indicating muscle damage and potentially serving as a biomarker for exercise-induced muscle injury.
