Glycine-¹³C2(C000375) is an isotopically labeled variant of the amino acid glycine. Glycine is considered a non-essential amino acid, meaning that it can be synthesized by the human body. It serves various roles in biological systems, including acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the spinal cord and functioning as an allosteric regulator of NMDA receptors in the brain. Isotope labeling, such as introducing carbon-13 isotopes, allows researchers to track the movement and metabolism of molecules within biological systems.
