“…Phosphagen kinases are enzymes that catalyze the reversible Mg 2+ -dependent transfer of the gamma phosphoryl group of ATP to a naturally occurring guanidino compounds, proto-phosphagens, such as creatine, glycocyamine, taurocyamine, lombricine, and arginine. Phosphagen kinases are a highly conserved family of proteins that nevertheless differ significantly with respect to their enzyme specificity and protein structure (monomeric, dimeric, and oligomeric forms of phophagen kinases are known) and distribution in the cell [59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70]. Among the most studied phosphagen kinases is the creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), which is the only known phosphagen kinase to exist in vertebrates [71,72,73,74].…”
