Glycine CAS 56-40-6

Glycine

Glycine (Glycine, abbreviation Gly), also known as amino acetic acid, its chemical formula is C2H5NO2,
at room temperature and atmospheric pressure is a white solid,
is the most simple structure of the amino acid series, the human body is not essential to an amino acid,
in the molecule has both acidic and basic functional groups,
can be ionized in water, has a strong hydrophilic acid, but belongs to the non-polar amino acid.
It is soluble in polar solvents, but insoluble in non-polar solvents, and has a high boiling point and melting point.
Glycine can show different molecular forms by adjusting the acid-base of aqueous solution

Glycine Function

1.Used as biochemical reagent, used in medicine, feed and food additives, nitrogen fertilizer industry as non-toxic decarburization agent

2.Used in pharmaceutical industry, biochemical test and organic synthesis

3.Glycine is mainly used as a nutritional additive in chicken feed.

4.Glycine, also known as aminoacetic acid, is an intermediate glycine ethyl ester hydrochloride used in pesticide production to synthesize pyrethroid insecticides,
and can also synthesize fungicide isocuron and herbicide solid glyphosate. In addition,
it is also used in fertilizer, medicine, food additives, condiment and other industries.

5.A nutritional supplement. Mainly used for seasoning and other aspects.

6.It is used as a buffer, for the preparation of tissue medium, for the examination of copper, gold and silver,
and medically for the treatment of myasthenia gravis and progressive muscular atrophy, hyperacidity, chronic enteritis, hyperprolinemia in children and other diseases
