High cerebral guanidinoacetate and variable creatine concentrations in argininosuccinate synthetase and lyase deficiency: Implications for treatment?

open access: yes, 2006
Cerebral creatine and guanidinoacetate and blood and urine metabolites were studied in four patients with argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) or argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) deficiency receiving large doses of arginine. Urine and blood metabolites varied

Systemic availability of guanidinoacetate affects GABAA receptor function and seizure threshold in GAMT deficient mice.

open access: yes, 2016
Deficiency of guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) causes creatine depletion and guanidinoacetate accumulation in brain with the latter deemed to be responsible for the severe seizure disorder seen in affected patients.

A mutation on exon 6 of guanidinoacetate methyltrasferase (GAMT) gene supports a different function for isoform a and b of GAMT enzyme.

open access: yes, 2006
A new patient aVected by Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deWciency was reported. This 13-year-old girl presented with mental retardation, as main symptom, associated with a typical pattern of biochemical and neurochemical (brain magnetic ...

Inhibition of Na+, K+-ATPase activity in rat striatum by guanidinoacetate

open access: yes, 2003
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of guanidinoacetate (GAA), the principal metabolite accumulating in guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT)-deficiency, on Na+, K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities in ...

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

open access: yesProcessing 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
Background: 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 is important for maintaining brain homeostasis. We have revealed that GAA in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is removed by incorporation

The Immune Response in Mice to a scAAV9hGAMT Vector Used to Treat Guanidinoacetate Methyltransferase (GAMT) Deficiency

open access: yes
Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency (GAMT-D) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that disrupts creatine biosynthesis, leading to neurological impairments due to creatine deficiency and guanidinoacetate (GAA) accumulation. Current treatments,
