glycine

glycine (2-Aminoacetic acid) is a non-essential amino acid. It is found primarily in gelatin and silk fibroin and used therapeutically as a nutrient. It is also a fast inhibitory neurotransmitter.

N-Oleoyl Glycine, a Lipoamino Acid, Stimulates Adipogenesis Associated With Activation of CB1 Receptor and Akt Signaling Pathway in 3T3-L1 Adipocyte

Glycine (Standard) is a reference standard for research and analysis in studies involving glycine. Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and a co-agonist of glutamate, enhancing NMDA receptor excitability. It is found in gelatin and silk fibroin and is used as a nutrient in medical treatments.

The acyl amides are a family of endogenous lipids that act as potent modulators of pain and inflammation. The best characterized members of this family are the arachidonoyl amides, which includes N-arachidonoyl ethanolamide (AEA; anandamide). N-palmitoyl glycine (PalGly) contains an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid that is amide-linked to glycine and is structurally similar to the phospholipid-derived N-acyl ethanolamines. Endogenously produced in rat skin and spinal cord, PalGly is present in 100-fold greater amounts in skin and 3-fold greater in brain compared to AEA. Injection of 0.43 μg PalGly in rat hindpaw inhibits heat-induced firing of nociceptive neurons in rat dorsal horn. PalGly treatment induces transient calcium influx in native dorsal root ganglion (DRG) cells and in the PTX-sensitive, DRG-like cell line F-11 (EC50 = 5.5 μM).

N-(3-Phenylpropionyl)glycine (Phenylpropionylglycine) is an acyl glycine. Acyl glycines are normally minor metabolites of fatty acids. However, the excretion of certain acyl glycines is increased in several inborn errors of metabolism. Acyl glycines are produced through the action of glycine N-acyltransferase which is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:acyl-CoA + glycine < - > CoA + N-acylglycineThe detection of phenylpropionylglycine in urine after an oral load of phenylpropionic acid can be used to diagnose deficiency of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, a frequent and treatable metabolic defect.

Glycylglycine (Diglycine) is a dipeptide used in biochemical research. It is the simplest of all dipeptides and is used as a starting template for preparation of more complex peptides. Glycine is involved in the body's production of DNA, phospholipids, and collagen, and in the release of energy.

NSC-16590 (2-Aminoisobutyric acid) is a nonprotein amino acid (is an end product of pyrimidine Metabolism) excreted in the urine of about 5% of healthy individuals, and high excretion is an autosomal recessive phenotype.

Cinnamoylglycine, a glycine conjugate of cinnamic acid and a urinary metabolite in humans, is used as a potential urinary biomarker.

3-Methylcrotonylglycine, an acyl glycine, is a normal amino acid metabolite found in urine.

Suberylglycine is an acyl glycine that is a normally minor metabolite of fatty acid.

N-Arachidonylglycine (NA-Gly) is a heat-dependent circulating metabolite with anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic and antioxidant activities.

N-Isovaleroylglycine (Isovaleroylglycine) is an acyl glycine. Acyl glycines are normally minor metabolites of fatty acids. However, the excretion of certain acyl glycines is increased in several inborn errors of metabolism. In certain cases, the measurement of these metabolites in body fluids can be used to diagnose disorders associated with mitochondrial fatty acid beta-oxidation. Acyl glycines are produced through the action of glycine N-acyltransferase which is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: acyl-CoA + glycine < -- > CoA + N-acylglycine. N-Isovaleroylglycine is a byproduct of the catabolism of the amino acid leucine. Accumulation of N-Isovaleroylglycine occurs in Isovaleric Acidemia (IVA).

4-Hydroxyphenylpropionylglycine, a metabolite derived from the conditionally essential amino acid tyrosine, is synthesized through a process involving aromatic amino acid aminotransferase and tyrosine aminotransferase activities, with subsequent modifications by gut microbiota and glycine conjugation. Additionally, it serves as a metabolite of the phenol phloretin.

Hydroxyphenylacetylglycine (p-Hydroxyphenylacetylglycine) is an endogenous human metabolite.

Glycochenodeoxycholic Acid (Lithocholylglycine) is a glycine conjugate of lithocholic acid, a bile acid. It is increased in livers of mice that are fed diets supplemented with ursadeoxycholic acid. Glycolithocholic acid levels are decreased in lean mice treated with obestatin. Serum glycolithocholic acid levels increase with age in children.
