Biochem/physiol Actions

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.
