  2. Endogenous Metabolite iGluR VEGFR
  3. Glycine

Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and 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 orally active. Glycine can be used to study cell protection, cancer, neurological diseases, and angiogenesis.

Description

Glycine is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the CNS and 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 orally active. Glycine can be used to study cell protection, cancer, neurological diseases, and angiogenesis[1][2][3][4][5][6].

In Vitro

Glycine (0-1 mM, 0-48 h) has anti-tumor and anti-angiogenic effects. It can downregulate the production of VEGF in tumor cells HCT-116, HT-29 and CC-531, inhibit the growth of endothelial cells HUVEC through GlyR, and indirectly inhibit HUVEC migration and capillary formation[3].
Glycine (5 mM, 50 mM, 10 min) can prevent the aggregation of NINJ1 in the plasma membrane and inhibit cell death caused by the breakdown of NINJ1 dependent property membrane, thereby exerting its cytoprotective effect[4].

Cell Migration Assay [3]

Cell Line: HUVEC cells
Concentration: 0, 0.01, 0.1, or 1 mM
Incubation Time: 0-48 h
Result: Reduced VEGF or conditioned medium-stimulated HUVEC migration and angiogenesis but had no direct effect on HUVEC migration.
In Vivo

Glycine (single 40-800 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently prevents scopolamine (HY-N0296)-induced social cognitive impairment in adult rats[2].
Glycine (500 and 1000 mg/kg/day for 14 days, i.p.) can significantly reduce kidney damage in lead-exposed mice by inhibiting ROS production[5].
Glycine (single 1 or 2 g/kg, p.o.) increases extracellular serotonin but not dopamine in the prefrontal cortex of rats

Animal Model: renal injury in mice exposed to Pb, adult male BALB/c mice (25–30 g)[5]
Dosage: 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day for 14 days
Administration: i.p.
Result: Significantly reduces elevated serum BUN and creatinine levels due to lead exposure.
Significantly reduced ROS elevation in renal tissue due to lead exposure.
Mitigated renal histopathological alterations in mice exposed to lead, included tubular dilation, protein cast, vacuolization, and inflammation.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
