glycine

Introduction

Aliphatic amino acid. Side chain -H.

Function

• inhibitory neurotransmitter in central nervous system
• synaptic glycine receptors primarily in the ventral spinal cord are coupled with chloride channels, hyperpolarizing the post-synaptic membrane

Laboratory

• glycine in specimen
  • glycine in hair
  • glycine in body fluid
    • glycine in amniotic fluid
    • glycine in vitreous fluid
    • glycine in CSF
    • glycine in dried blood spot
    • glycine in blood
    • glycine in serum/plasma
    • glycine in urine

More general terms

• aliphatic amino acid

More specific terms

• glyphosate; N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine;2-(phosphonomethylamino)acetic acid (Roundup, Landmaster)

Additional terms

• glycine cleavage system
• glycine receptor
• glycine residue (Gly, G)
