General description

Research area: Neuroscience

Application

Glycine hydrochloride has been used as a component of Ag (silver)-stripping buffer for multiplex immunohistochemistry in mice tissues.
Glycine hydrochloride has been used:
  • in the preparation of glycine-HCl buffer
  • to elute serum immunoglobulins (IgGs) from the beads in order to check for the complete enrichment of core- and site-specific antibodies
  • to regenerate the sensor to elute the bound C-reactive protein (CRP)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glycine acts on receptors which bring out an enhanced chloride conductance. It shows highest concentrations in the spinal cord as compared to elsewhere in the brain. However, it interacts with and allostericaly activates the excitatory receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA), thus, resulting in excitatory transmission in brain.
Glycine comprises a single carbon molecule, that is attached to the amino and a carboxyl group. Glycine hydrochloride (Gly·HCl) is capable of liquifying native chitosan and also helps in the preparation of regenerated chitosan membrane. It can serve as an osmoprotectant. Glycine can act as a flexible link in proteins and can also allow the formation of helices. Free glycine may have a protecting role in tissues against ischemia, hypoxia, and reperfusion.Glycine has been studied as a potential treatment for sepsis, arthritis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and other inflammatory diseases.
Inhibitory neurotransmitter in spinal cord, allosteric regulator of NMDA receptors.

The mechanism of the immunosuppressive effects of glycine and its pathophysiological applications are discussed in this review. Glycine has been well characterized in spinal cord as an inhibitory neurotransmitter which activates a glycine-gated chloride channel (GlyR) expressed in postsynaptic membranes.

Recent advances in multiplex immunohistochemistry techniques allow for quantitative, spatial identification of multiple immune parameters for enhanced diagnostic and prognostic insight. However, applying such techniques to murine fixed tissues, particularly sensitive epitopes, such as CD4, CD8α, and CD19, has been
