This compound is synthesized in the liver by the reaction of CO2 and ammonia with a methylene tentrahydrofolate derivative, and in porphyrin synthesis this compound reacts with succinyl-CoA to form aminolevulinic acid. A disruption in its receptors causes hyperekplexia, and its function is also inhibited by strychnine. Transamination of glyoxylate

A disruption in its receptors causes hyperekplexia, and its function is also inhibited by strychnine. Transamination of glyoxylate results in this compound, and in the spinal cord, it opposes glutamate as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. Thirty-five percent of the collagen helix contains this amino acid, although the entropy cost of including it in many structures is quite high. FTP, name this only achiral amino acid with side chain H.
