Creatinine
Synonyms: NSC13123
Creatinine acts as a GABAA and NMDA receptor modulator, demonstrating antioxidant properties and metabolic regulation. It is produced through the non-enzymatic conversion of creatine and phosphocreatine in muscle, making its serum levels an important biomarker for renal function, muscle mass, and clinical outcomes. Creatinine is utilized in evaluating perioperative renal risk and has applications in research on neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric disorders, acute and chronic kidney injury, and renal failure. Additionally, it can induce specific Cryptococcus species to produce creatinine deiminase, highlighting its role in metabolic studies.
