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.

In the study reported, we prove that mutations in the SLC6A8 gene are responsible for SLC6A8 deficiency, a cerebral creatine deficiency syndrome (CCDS), since overexpression of the wild-type SLC6A8 open reading frame (ORF) restores the creatine uptake profile in SLC6A8-deficient
