A phosphotransferase enzyme that has increased activity when injury,inflammation,or necrosis of skeletal muscle occurs is:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The enzyme referred to in the question is creatine kinase (CK), which is found in high concentration in skeletal muscle. Its activity increases in response to skeletal muscle injury, inflammation or necrosis, making it a valuable marker for muscle damage. ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ACP (acid phosphatase), and LD (lactate dehydrogenase) are not specific for skeletal muscle damage and may be elevated in a variety of conditions.
