The transformation of methionine to Hcy involves the demethylation pathway, which provides a methyl group with glycocyamine in the creation of creatinine.
The demethylation pathway is associated with creatinine generation, i.e., S-adenosylmethionine provides a methyl group with glycocyamine on the generation of creatinine.
A diverse array of phosphagens is found in the animal kingdom, including arginine phosphate (AP), creatine phosphate (CP),
glycocyamine phosphate (GP), taurocyamine phosphate (TP), hypotaurocyamine phosphate (HTP), and lombricine phosphate (LP).
