In Strong and Ellington’s 1994 experiment, arginine kinase (AK) was isolated from Limulus polyphemus, the Atlantic horseshoe crab, a marine chelicerate arthropod. They isolated the gene for AK, sequenced the DNA and identified it to be 1071 nucleotides. The 1071 nucleotides produce a 357 amino acid protein and AK extracted from other organisms show similarity to this protein. AK serves a similar function to that of creatine kinase, in vertebrates <ref>Strong, S., & Ellington, W. (1994).
