Description
5'-Guanylic acid is a purine nucleotide that participates in physiological processes such as energy metabolism, signal transduction, and gene expression regulation. 5'-Guanylic acid regulates the expression of genes related to fatty acid metabolism. 5'-Guanylic acid is the weak agonist for ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR), reduces the activity of the glutamatergic system and exhibits neuroprotective effect. 5'-Guanylic acid also causes neuronal cell death at high concentrations[1][2][3]
