Homoarginine and creatine deficiency do not exacerbate murine ischaemic heart failure. [PDF]
Abstract Aims Low levels of homoarginine and creatine are associated with heart failure severity in humans, but it is unclear to what extent they contribute to pathophysiology. Both are synthesized via L‐arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT), such that AGAT−/− mice have a combined creatine and homoarginine deficiency.

In humans and mice, L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) and its metabolites homoarginine (hArg) and creatine have been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD), specifically myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure (HF).

Influence of homoarginine on creatine accumulation and biosynthesis in the mouse. [PDF]
Organisms obtain creatine from their diet or by de novo synthesis via AGAT (L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase) and GAMT (Guanidinoacetate N-methyltrasferase) in kidney and liver, respectively.

Cardiomyocytes from Creatine-Deficient Mice Lacking L-Arginine:Glycine Amidinotransferase (AGAT) Show No Changes in Mitochondrial Organization and Cellular Compartmentation [PDF]
In cardiac muscle, the creatine kinase (CK) system temporally buffers ADP and ATP concentrations near sites of ATP production and consumption. It has also been suggested to be an important spatial buffer facilitating the transport of ADP and ATP. This was corroborated by a study of CK knockout mice.
