Glycyl-DL-tryptophan is a dipeptide composed of the amino acids glycine and tryptophan, linked by a peptide bond. It is classified as a non-essential amino acid derivative, which means it can be synthesized by the body. This compound is known for its potential role in various biological processes, including protein synthesis and neurotransmitter regulation. Glycyl-DL-tryptophan exhibits characteristics typical of peptides, such as solubility in water and the ability to form hydrogen bonds due to its polar functional groups. It may also possess antioxidant properties, contributing to its potential health benefits. The presence of tryptophan, an aromatic amino acid, allows for interactions with neurotransmitter systems, particularly serotonin pathways. In laboratory settings, it is often used in biochemical research and may serve as a building block for more complex peptides or proteins. As with many peptides, its stability and activity can be influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of other ions or molecules.

Glycyl-DL-tryptophan is a basic protein that has been found in the bacterial genus, Lactobacillus. It is an inhibitor of proteolytic and growth factor activity. Glycyl-DL-tryptophan has also been shown to be a radiation sensitive compound that inhibits the growth of other bacteria by reacting with their enzymes. The type species of this protein is Lactobacillus acidophilus, which is a proteolytic enzyme found in the stomach and intestine of mammals. Glycyl-DL-tryptophan inhibits the activity of arylamidase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of amides. This protein has been isolated from type strains of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus helveticus.
