Chemical Information

Creatine

Creatine is a glycine derivative having methyl and amidino groups attached to the nitrogen. It has a role as a geroprotector, a nutraceutical, a neuroprotective agent, a mouse metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a glycine derivative and a member of guanidines. It is a conjugate acid of a creatinate. It is a tautomer of a creatine zwitterion.
