Identification
Common NamePhosphocreatine
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionPhosphocreatine - or Phosphocreatine - is the phosphorylated form of creatine. It is primarily found endogenously in the skeletal muscles of vertebrates where it serves a critical role as a rapidly acting energy buffer for muscle cell actions like contractions via its ability to regenerate adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
