Glycine iGluR chemical

Cat.No.S4821

Glycine (2-Aminoacetic acid, Aminoacetic acid, Glycocoll) is a non-essential, non-polar, non-optical, glucogenic amino acid that is primarily found in gelatin and silk fibroin. It is involved in the body's production of DNA, phospholipids and collagen, and in release of energy.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

In vitro
Glycine significantly increases the MG-63 cell proliferation in a dosedependent manner. Activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase are increased by this compound in MG-63 cells. It also increases the BrdU-incorporation and Ki-67 mRNA expression in MCF-7 cells, induces the up-regulation of estrogen receptor-β mRNA expression and estrogen response element-luciferase activity in MG-63 and MCF-7 cells.
In vivo
Glycine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and is involved in multiple metabolic pathways. Circulating levels of this compound in humans, rats and mice, cats, and dogs range from 0.2-0.4 mM. In rabbits and pigs, they are 1-1.5 mM. Intracellular concentrations are much higher, particularly in renal proximal tubules, which reabsorb filtered glycine and reach 4–10x circulating levels depending on whether they are being actively perfused. It has been reported to lower blood pressure in an NMDA-sensitive fashion. This amino acid has an estrogen-like osteoprotective effect in menopause models. It significantly increases the ALP activity, enhances bone mineral density, trabecular number, and connectivity density in OVX mice.
