Common Name

Guanidoacetic acid

Description

Guanidoacetic acid, also known as guanidoacetic acid or Guanidoacetic acid, 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 is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Guanidoacetic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Guanidoacetic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Guanidoacetic acid and orotidylic acid can be biosynthesized from glycine and L-arginine through the action of the enzyme glycine amidinotransferase, mitochondrial. In addition, Guanidoacetic acid and S-adenosylhomocysteine can be converted into S-adenosylmethionine and creatine; which is mediated by the enzyme guanidoacetic acid N-methyltransferase. In cattle, guanidoacetic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the glycine and serine metabolism pathway. Guanidoacetic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
