β-Guanidinopropionic acid is studied for potential use during protein refolding as an anti-aggregatory molecule similar to L-arginine. β-Guanidinopropionic acid may be used to study its proliferative activity for endothelial cells contributing to wound healing. β-Guanidinopropionic acid is closely related to leptin.

Maggot therapy, utilizing the larvae of Lucilia sericata, has been reported to reduce the bacterial load within wounds and also to enhance wound healing. Maggot excretions/secretions (ES) have been shown to have a role in the success of maggot therapy.
GABA(C) receptors play a role in myopia, memory-related disorders and circadian rhythms signifying a need to develop potent and selective agents for this class of receptors. Guanidino analogs related to glycine, beta-alanine and taurine were evaluated at human rho(1)GABA(C) receptors

In the study reported, we prove that mutations in the SLC6A8 gene are responsible for SLC6A8 deficiency, a cerebral creatine deficiency syndrome (CCDS), since overexpression of the wild-type SLC6A8 open reading frame (ORF) restores the creatine uptake profile in SLC6A8-deficient

Creatine plays a role in energy storage and transport/shuttle of high-energy phosphate in heart, brain, retina, testis and skeletal muscle. These tissues take creatine from the plasma via a 2Na(+)/1Cl(-)/1creatine cotransporter (CRT). We have previously demonstrated that renal apical membrane

Guanidinopropionic acid (GPA) increases AMPK activity, mitochondrial function and biogenesis in muscle and improves physiological function, for example during aging. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. Here we tested whether GPA prevents neurodegeneration of
