Members of the creatine kinase isoenzyme family (CKs; EC 2.7.3.2) are found in mitochondria and specialized subregions of the cytoplasm and catalyze the reversible exchange of high-energy phosphoryl between ATP and phosphocreatine. At least four functionally active genes, which encode the distinct CK subunits CKB, CKM, CKMT1 (ubiquitous), and CKMT2 (sarcomeric), and a variable number of CKB pseudogenes have been identified. Here, we report the use of a CKMT1 containing phage to map the CKMT1 gene by in situ hybridization on both human and mouse chromosomes.
