Product Description
Glycine CAS 56-40-6
Glycine (abbreviated Gly), also known as aminoacetic acid, is a non-essential amino acid with the chemical formula C₂H₅NO₂. As a constituent amino acid of the endogenous antioxidant reduced glutathione, glycine is often replenished exogenously during severe stress conditions, earning it the classification as a semi-essential amino acid.
Key Benefits
  • Simplest amino acid structure
  • Non-essential amino acid for human metabolism
  • Excellent solubility in polar solvents
  • Versatile applications in pharmaceutical, biochemical, and organic synthesis industries
