CAS 56-40-6

Glycine

Description:

Glycine, with the CAS number 56-40-6, is the simplest amino acid and serves as a fundamental building block of proteins. It is a colorless, odorless, and sweet-tasting crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. Glycine has the chemical formula C2H5NO2 and features both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH), making it an alpha-amino acid. Its structure allows it to participate in various biochemical processes, including protein synthesis and neurotransmission. Glycine is non-essential, meaning the body can synthesize it, but it is also obtained from dietary sources such as meat, fish, dairy, and legumes. In addition to its role in biological systems, glycine is used in various industrial applications, including as a buffering agent in pharmaceuticals, a sweetener in food products, and a component in cosmetics. Its low toxicity and biocompatibility make it a valuable compound in both research and commercial settings.
