CAS 56-40-6: Glycine

GLYCINE CRS

Glycine is employed to protect the kidneys from the harmful side effects of certain drugs used after organ transplantation as well as the liver from the harmful effects of alcohol. The solution of glycine plays an important role for deposition of alloys and metals. It is likewise useful for patients with acute alcohol hallucinosis. It is applied for treating schizophrenia, stroke, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and some rare inherited metabolic disorders.

This buffer solution is used for eluting (dissociating) antibodies in various antibody purification procedures such as affinity purification of antibody using peptide coupled to a column. It is widely used as a buffer for a variety of immunological applications. Glycine is also used as an eluent in column chromatography. Glycine has been reported for use in the enzymatic determination of lactate using lactic dehydrogenase.

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid and the simplest of all proteinogenic amino acids. The physiological level of glycine in humans is about 1-2 g per day, but it can be synthesized in the body from serine or converted from proline. Glycine has been shown to have a number of functions in the human body, including cell factor activity, enzyme activities, and receptor activity. It is also used for wastewater treatment and as a component of peptide hormones, such as gastrin. Glycine may also play a role in infectious diseases by inhibiting microbial growth through its antimicrobial effects. Glycine has been shown to inhibit Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus on agar plates. It also inhibits Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth by decreasing its lipid content." "Glycine - EP" is an ester hydrochloride that contains glycine as its active ingredient. This product is used for

Glycine is an amino acid that is necessary for the synthesis of proteins and other compounds in the body. It is also a precursor to the neurotransmitter, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Glycine has been shown to be involved in a number of metabolic disorders with high frequency in humans, such as infectious diseases, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. Glycine has been shown to be an antimicrobial agent against bacteria and fungi. Glycine has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. It can inhibit the production of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase activity. Glycine may also have immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting T-cell proliferation and cytokine production.

Glycine is a nonessential amino acid that is found in the human body and many foods such as soy. It belongs to the class of compounds known as amino acids. Glycine is used in the synthesis of glucose, which is an important source of energy for cells. Glycine has been shown to have insecticidal properties, and has been shown to inhibit cellular transformation in some experimental models. Glicine has also been used as an analytical method for measuring glutamate levels in wastewater treatment plants. In addition, glycine can be used to treat infectious diseases such as malaria and cholera, although it requires more research before it can be considered a viable therapeutic agent.
