Glycine
Product Details
As the smallest amino acid, glycine features a single hydrogen atom as its side chain. This simplicity allows glycine to integrate seamlessly into flexible regions of proteins and aids in the formation of alpha helices in the secondary structure of proteins. It’s crucial for the synthesis of nucleic acids, bile acids, creatine, and hemoglobin. Its presence is mandatory for maintaining central nervous system functions and overall cellular health.Glycine production in the human body predominantly occurs via the interconversion of serine, another non-essential amino acid. This conversion transpires through the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase. Additionally, it can be synthesized in the body from choline through a complex series of reactions known as the de novo pathway.
Glycine supports numerous biological processes:
1.Synthesis of Biomolecules: Glycine is essential for the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and certain co-enzymes.
2.Central Nervous System: It acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, thereby contributing to motor and cognitive functions.
3.Metabolism: Participates in the formation of heme, a component essential for hemoglobin production.
4.Immune System: Enhances immune function by aiding in the production of antibodies and enhancing leukocyte activity.
Functions: food additive,pharmaceutical uses,research and technology,cosmetic industry and so on.
