• Function of Creatine kinase

  • converts ADP to ATP and back in contractile functions

• ALT function is to transfer an amino group from alanine to a-ketoglutarate; requires pyridoxal phosphate 
• alkaline phosphatase function is to catalyze hydrolysis of phosphomonoesters at an alkaline pH
• Amylase's Function - hydrolase that breaks down starch
• Lipase function is to hydrolyze triglycerides into alcohol and fatty acids
