Glycine, N-(N-D-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl)-

Description:

Glycine, N-(N-D-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl)-, also known by its CAS number 108457-42-7, is a synthetic peptide that incorporates glycine, a simple amino acid, along with a sequence derived from glutamic acid and cysteine. This compound is characterized by its structure, which includes a glycine moiety linked to a peptide chain that features a D-enantiomer of glutamic acid and L-cysteine. The presence of both D- and L-amino acids in its structure may impart unique biological properties, potentially influencing its interaction with biological systems. Glycine itself is known for its role as a neurotransmitter and its involvement in various metabolic processes. The specific peptide structure may suggest potential applications in biochemistry and pharmacology, particularly in the development of therapeutic agents or as a research tool in studying peptide interactions. As with many peptides, its solubility, stability, and reactivity can vary based on environmental conditions such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations for its practical applications.
