Processing mechanism of guanidinoacetate in choroid plexus epithelial cells: conversion of guanidinoacetate to creatine via guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase and monocarboxylate transporter 12-mediated creatine release into the CSF
Guanidinoacetate (GAA) induces epileptogenesis and neurotoxicity in the brain. As epileptic animal models have been reported to show elevated cerebral GAA levels, the processing mechanism of GAA in the brain i... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)
