Phosphocreatinine (or creatine phosphate) is a molecule involved in the energy metabolism of cells, particularly muscle and nerve cells. It serves as a storage form of chemical energy in cells and is used to rapidly regenerate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body's primary energy source, during intense physical activity or other energy-demanding processes.

Phosphocreatinine is synthesized in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas and is primarily stored in skeletal muscles. During physical exertion, phosphocreatinine donates a phosphate group to convert adenosine diphosphate (ADP) into ATP, providing a quick source of energy.

In medicine, phosphocreatinine levels can be indirectly assessed by measuring serum creatinine, a breakdown product of phosphocreatinine, to evaluate kidney function.
