Synonyms:
- N-(Aminoiminomethyl)-glycine2-[[Amino(imino)methyl]amino]acetic acidNSC 26360
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Guanidinoacetic acid is a metabolite of creatine and is formed by reaction with the amino acid arginine. It is also synthesized from guanidinoacetate, which is derived from the oxidation of arginine. Guanidinoacetic acid can be found in human serum and eye disorders such as glaucoma. The analytical method for guanidinoacetic acid involves the conversion of guanidine to guanidinoacetic acid using nitrous acid, followed by gas chromatographic separation of the products. The concentration of guanidinoacetic acid in human serum has been shown to have an inverse relationship with body mass index (BMI). This means that people with a higher BMI have lower levels of guanidinoacetic acids in their blood than those who are thinner. Guanidinoacetate has also been shown to increase energy metabolism and inhibit glycolysis in humans.
