  • Title: Glycine metabolism and glycine synthase activity during the postnatal development of rat brain.
    Author: Lahoya JL, Benavides J, Ugarte M.
    Journal: Dev Neurosci; 1980; 3(2):75-80. PubMed ID: 7418631.
    Abstract:
    Glycine synthase from rat brain mitochondria shows an apparent Km for glycine of 2.6 mM. Glycine synthase from rat brain homogenate has a maximum of activity at the 10th day of life. However, each area of the central nervous system shows a different developmental pattern of glycine synthase activity. Both the 14CO2 production from (U-14C)-glycine and the incorporation of the radioactivity from the (U-14C)-glycine to the acid-insoluble fraction by cortex slices has a developmental profile similar to the glycine synthase activity in this area, having a maximum on the 10th day.
