Proteins

Creatine Kinase BB (CKBB) is composed of two homodimers that make CK a dimeric enzyme.

Creatine Kinase MB (CKMB) is a dimeric enzyme and an important mycocardial marker primarily found in the muscle tissue of the heart.

Creatine Kinase MM (CKMM) is composed of two homodimers that make CK a dimeric enzyme.

Cystatin C is a cysteine protease inhibitor. It is a fairly small protein and is synthesized by most of the cells in the body.

Ferritin is a large multi-subunit protein whose main function is to store iron, thus creating a reservoir that the body can use for its multiple requirements.

Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGTP) is also known as Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase. GGTP catalyzes the transfer of a gamma-glutamyl moiety to a wide variety of amino and non-amino acceptors.

High density lipoprotein is the densest of the lipoprotein particles because it contains the highest proportion of proteins to lipids. It is referred to as the “good cholesterol” because it functions as the transit for cholesterol away from the blood, tissues, and organs of the body.

Lactate dehydrogenase catalyzes the reversible oxidation of lactate to pyruvate using the cofactor NAD+.

Lipase is a glycoprotein with at least two known isoenzymes. It is very non-specific, catalyzing the breakdown of most triglycerides.
