Common NameGuanidinoacetic Acid
DescriptionGuanidoacetic acid, also known as guanidinoacetate or N-amidinoglycine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon), or a derivative thereof. Guanidoacetic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, guanidoacetic acid is involved in the glycine and serine metabolism pathway. Guanidoacetic acid is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Guanidinoacetic Acid was first documented in 1995 (PMID: 8547310). Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Guanidoacetic acid (PMID: 8651275) (PMID: 16855203) (PMID: 12701824) (PMID: 34498202) (PMID: 33664666) (PMID: 32936572).
