Is Glycine a Neurotransmitter ?: Association of Glycine with Spinal Interneurones

- Summary

Abstract

The amino-acid glycine acts as though it were an inhibitory transmitter substance when it is applied to neurones of the lumbar portion of the spinal cord of the cat. Moreover, interneurones which release inhibitory transmitter appear to concentrate glycine. These findings raise the strong possibility that glycine is a neurotransmitter substance in the physiological state.
