  • Title: Creatine phosphokinase in Rana pipiens: expression in embryos, early larvae and adult tissues.
    Author: Klemann SW, Pfohl RJ.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol B; 1982; 73(4):907-14. PubMed ID: 6983949.
    Abstract:
    1. Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) isozymes found in Rana pipiens are similar to those found elsewhere; muscle-specific (MM-CPK), brain-specific (BB-CPK) and intermediate hybrid (MB-CPK) isozymes were identified. 2. Adult tissues exhibit CPK isozyme patterns similar to other vertebrates although variations are notable in nervous tissue, liver and kidney. 3. CPK isozyme patterns in ovarian eggs, ovulated eggs and selected stages of early development demonstrate a significant rise in CPK with neurulation. Most notable is a sharp increase in brain-specific BB-CPK. 4. MM-CPK purified from skeletal muscle is found to be similar, in properties studied, to the corresponding isozyme in other vertebrate species.
