Gly
Gly - a non essential, non polar, non optical, glucogenic amino acid. Glycine, an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the cns, triggers chloride ion influx via ionotropic receptors, thereby creating an inhibitory post synaptic potential. In contrast, this agent also acts as a co agonist, along with glutamate, facilitating an excitatory potential at the glutaminergic n methyl d aspartic acid (nmda) receptors. Glycine is an important component and precursor for many macromolecules in the cells.
