Notes: Glycine-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of glycine by GC- or LC-MS. Glycine is a conditionally essential amino acid and the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord and brainstem.{63282,48332} It is synthesized from threonine, choline, hydroxyproline, and serine via interorgan metabolism between the liver and kidneys.{48332} It can also be derived from dietary sources. Glycine is essential to protein synthesis and the conjugation of bile acids and is a precursor in glutathione, purine, heme, and serine synthesis.
