<p>Applications Glutamine analog.<br>References Hellberg, S., et al.: J. Med. Chem., 30, 1126 (1987), Blondelle, S., et al.: Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 38, 2280 (1994), Jiracek, J., et al.: J. Biol. Chem., 270, 21701(1995),<br></p>

<p>Applications Methyl 6-aminohexanoate is used as a reagent to synthesize straight chain hydroxamates, compounds that act as inhibitors of Human Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) that have the potential to treat cancer. Methyl 6-aminohexanoate is also sometimes used as a spacer unit for peptide synthesis.<br>References Matthews, S., et al.: J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun., 17, 1809 (1995); Remiszewski, S., et al.: J. Med. Chem., 45, 753 (2002)<br></p>

<p>Stability Hygroscopic<br>Applications Vitamin (enzyme cofactor). Essential cofactor of fatty acid metabolism; required for the transport of fatty acids through the inner mitochondrial membrane. Synthesized primarily in the liver and kidney; highest concentrations found in heart and skeletal muscle. Dietary sources include red meat, dairy products, beans, avocado.<br>References Mitchell, M.E., et al.: Am. J. Clin. Nutr., 31, 293 (1978), Lango, R., et al.: Cardiovasc.

<p>Applications Glycine-15N,d2, is the labeled analogue of Glycine (G615990), a non-essential amino acid for human development. Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in spinal cord, allosteric regulator of NMDA receptors.<br>References Scott, D. et al.: J.
