Description

Phenylacetylglycine (PAG) is a naturally occurring compound found in human urine and other biological fluids. It is a derivative of the amino acid glycine and the aromatic compound phenylacetic acid. PAG is synthesized in the body through the metabolism of phenylalanine, an essential amino acid. It has been studied for its potential therapeutic properties in various conditions, including epilepsy, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. PAG exhibits anticonvulsant activity, potentially by inhibiting the release of excitatory neurotransmitters, such as glutamate. It also shows anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, its exact mechanisms of action and clinical efficacy require further investigation. PAG is also a potential biomarker for certain diseases, such as phenylketonuria (PKU), a metabolic disorder that affects the breakdown of phenylalanine. Research on PAG focuses on understanding its biological roles, exploring its therapeutic potential, and developing methods for its detection and quantification.'

GlycinegenusA non-essential amino acid. It is found primarily in gelatin and silk fibroin and used therapeutically as a nutrient. It is also a fast inhibitory neurotransmitter.[MeSH]FabaceaeThe large family of plants characterized by pods. Some are edible and some cause LATHYRISM or FAVISM and other forms of poisoning. Other species yield useful materials like gums from ACACIA and various LECTINS like PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS from PHASEOLUS. Many of them harbor NITROGEN FIXATION bacteria on their roots. Many but not all species of beans belong to this family.[MeSH]
