Glycine and glycine receptor immunoreactivity in brain and spinal cord [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1988 To study the distribution of glycine immunoreactive neurons in the spinal cord and brain, antisera were raised against glycine conjugated to protein carriers. High-titer rabbit glycine antiserum was purified by affinity chromatography. Testing against other amino acids and peptides with immuno dot blots and ELISA assays showed little apparent cross ...

Orphan receptor GPR158 serves as a metabotropic glycine receptor: mGlyR. [PDF]
Science, 2023 Glycine is a major neurotransmitter involved in several fundamental neuronal processes. The identity of the metabotropic receptor mediating slow neuromodulatory effects of glycine is unknown. We identified an orphan G protein–coupled receptor, GPR158, as

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2016 NMDA receptors are Ca2+-permeable ion channels. The activation of NMDA receptors requires agonist glutamate and co-agonist glycine. Recent evidence indicates that NMDA receptor also has metabotropic function.

Orexin neurons receive glycinergic innervations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Glycine, a nonessential amino-acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, is currently used as a dietary supplement to improve the quality of sleep, but its mechanism of action is poorly understood.

Actions of N-arachidonyl-glycine in a rat inflammatory pain model
Molecular Pain, 2007 Background While cannabinoid receptor agonists have analgesic activity in inflammatory pain states they produce a range of side effects. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the arachidonic acid-amino acid conjugate, N-arachidonyl-glycine (NA-glycine)

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010 Recent evidence indicates that strychnine-sensitive glycine receptors are located in upper brain regions including the hippocampus. Because of excitatory effects of glycine via facilitation of NMDA-receptor function, however, the net effects of increased

Glycine is able to induce both a motility speed in- and decrease during zebrafish neuronal migration
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2018 Various neurotransmitters influence neuronal migration in the developing zebrafish hindbrain. Migrating tegmental hindbrain nuclei neurons (THNs) are governed by depolarizing neurotransmitters (acetylcholine and glutamate), and glycine. In mature neurons,

Extrasynaptic glycine receptors of rodent dorsal raphe serotonergic neurons:a sensitive target for ethanol [PDF]
, 2014 Alcohol abuse is a significant medical and social problem. Several neurotransmitter systems are implicated in ethanol's actions, with certain receptors and ion channels emerging as putative targets.
