Description

Can be synthesized in the body by Serine Hydroxymethyltransferase. Glycine, MP Biomedicals is a nonessential, non-chiral amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, particularly in brain stem and medulla. It is commonly used as a buffer compon

Glycine does not have a chiral center, so it is the only amino acid with no asymmetric carbon. Therefore, it does not have a D- or L- isomer designation. This material is synthetic. It is the smallest of the 20 natural amino acids. It acs as inhibitory neurotransmitter that is shown to block NMDA-stimulated dopamine release in fetal mesencephalic cell cultures. It is also reported to increase NMDA-receptor mediated synaptic potential in cortical neurons.

Glycine is commonly used as a component in:

  • Tris-glycine and Tris-glycine-SDS running buffers for polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
  • Towbin's transfer buffer for Western blots
  • Buffers used in cryoenzymology, osmotic pressure maintenance in isoelectric focusing of erythrocytes and salting-in effect in protein chemistry
  • Buffer for coupled phosphatase-kinase reaction for end labelling of restriction fragments
