Phosphocreatine provides a short-term energy supply during exercise by regenerating ATP from ADP using creatine kinase after the hydrolysis of phosphocreatine.
- short term energy supply at rest - Pi produced from hydrolysis of ATP is used - to phosphorylate creatine to phosphocreatine during exercise - creatine kinase hydrolyses phosphocreatine to creatine and Pi - to phosphorylate ADP to ATP ATP used in muscle contraction
