Arginine phosphate was discovered in the muscles of crustaceans in the 1920s by muscle biochemists O. Meyerhof and K. Lohmann, and has since been found in the muscles of many invertebrates. As a high-energy phosphate ester, like creatine phosphate in vertebrates, it plays a role in storing and transporting energy in the body. It is a type of phosphagen (high energy bond). Arginine phosphate is widely distributed in flatworms, arthropods, mollusks, echinoderms, and protochordata (except cephalochordates), and it is known that in sea urchins, arginine phosphate plays a major role in the early stages of individual development, and creatine phosphate appears as the development progresses.

筋肉生化学の大家マイヤーホーフO.MeyerhofとローマンK.Lohmannによって1920年代に甲殻類の筋肉から発見され,その後多くの無脊椎動物の筋肉中に見いだされている物質。脊椎動物におけるクレアチンリン酸と同様に高エネルギーリン酸エステルとして,生体内でエネルギーの貯蔵と運搬の役割を担っている。ホスファゲンの一種(高エネルギー結合)。扁形動物,節足動物,軟体動物,棘皮(きよくひ)動物,原索動物(ただし頭索類を除く)などにアルギニンリン酸がひろく分布し,ウニの類では個体発生に際して,初期にはアルギニンリン酸が主役を演じ,後期に移るに従ってクレアチンリン酸が登場してくることが知られている。
