Product Information

• Name: Z-Gly-Gln-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Glycine is a non-essential amino acid that is found in most proteins. It can be synthesized in the body through the catabolism of other amino acids, so it is not considered essential. Glycine has two forms, L-glycine and D-glycine. The L-form is more common in nature and used as a building block for proteins and enzymes. The D-form has been shown to be a vasodilating agent when administered intravenously or intraarterially. Glycine also has an antagonistic effect on calcium, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with pyridine rings on adjacent molecules. This property makes it useful in pharmaceuticals such as the treatment of peptic ulcers and gastritis.
