4-Guanidinobutyric acid is a compound that is studied in biochemical and neurological research due to its structural similarity to both gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and arginine. Its guanidino group is of particular interest because it can mimic the behavior of guanidinium-containing compounds, which play critical roles in biological systems. In research, 4-Guanidinobutyric acid is used to investigate its interactions with GABA receptors and its effects on GABAergic neurotransmission. Studies also focus on its influence on the urea cycle and arginine metabolism, as well as its potential role in modulating nitric oxide synthase activity. Furthermore, the compound serves as a tool in the study of enzyme kinetics, where it may act as an inhibitor or substrate analog for enzymes that interact with similar guanidinium compounds.
