Glycine(Cas 56-40-6) Usage

Chemical Description

Glycine is the simplest amino acid, with a hydrogen atom as its side chain. Glycine is of the simplest structure in the 20 members of amino acid series, also known as amino acetate. It is a non-essential amino acid for the human body and contains both acidic and basic functional group inside its molecule. It can fit into hydrophilic or hydrophobic environments, due to its minimal side chain of only one hydrogen atom. Glycine is also the genus name of the Soybean plant (species name = Glycine max).

Occurrence

Gelatin and silk fbroin are reportedly the best natural sources of this amino acid

Uses

Glycine acts as neurotransmitter in central nervous system and it has many roles such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cryoprotective, and immunomodulatory in peripheral and nervous tissues.
