Background

Creatinine is a naturally occurring organic compound primarily found within the body as a metabolic byproduct of creatine phosphate. It plays a pivotal role in energy metabolism, primarily in skeletal muscles. Creatinine is a nitrogenous waste product and is continuously generated in the body as a result of muscle contraction. It is excreted primarily through the kidneys, making it a valuable biomarker for assessing renal function.

The biosynthesis of creatinine involves intricate biochemical pathways within living organisms. Creatinine is synthesized primarily in the liver, where arginine and glycine serve as the precursor molecules. The enzymatic conversion of arginine to ornithine, followed by the transformation of ornithine to citrulline and argininosuccinate, ultimately results in the formation of arginine and its subsequent conversion into creatinine. This complex process underscores the importance of using biosynthesis to ensure accuracy and precision in research applications.
