CREATINE PHOSPHATE DISODIUM SALT HEXAHYDRATE

Chemical Properties

Crystalline

Uses

Phosphocreatine disodium salt hydrate has been used:

• as a component: of Xenopus buffer (XB) buffer to remove the membrane-bound proteins
• of M5⁺?buffer to perform polarized total internal reflection fluorescence (polTIRF) experiments
• of ATP regenerating system for 7-nitro-2-1,3-benzoxadiazol-4-yl phospholipid(NBD-PL) translocation assay

General Description

Creatine phosphate is a high-energy phosphate compound that stores energy from mitochondria whenever sufficient amounts of ATP are present. When ATP levels are low, energy from phosphocreatine is transferred to ADP molecules, which are quickly converted to ATP. It is often a component of ATP-generating systems.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phosphocreatine is widely known for its quickest form of regeneration using enzyme creatine kinase. It functions as a temporal energy buffer. Phosphocreatine is present in muscle tissues and plays a major role in maintaining energy homeostasis in muscle cells.
