QUICK LINKS
Guanidinoacetic-13C2 Acid is a labeled analogue of guanidinoacetic acid, where two carbon atoms are enriched with the stable isotope 13C. This compound is utilized in metabolic research to trace and study the biosynthesis of creatine, as guanidinoacetic acid is a direct precursor in the biosynthetic pathway of creatine. The incorporation of the 13C label enables researchers to use mass spectrometry to monitor the compound with high specificity and sensitivity, distinguishing it from the non-labeled species. The use of Guanidinoacetic-13C2 Acid is essential in studies investigating the rate of creatine production and the regulation of its synthesis in various tissues. Additionally, this compound serves as a tool to probe metabolic disorders where creatine synthesis or utilization is impaired.
