Common Namegamma-Glutamylglycine
Descriptiongamma-Glutamylglycine is one of the dipeptides that is commonly produced from polypeptides by the action of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase. Dietary proteins are digested to dipeptides and amino acids, and the dipeptides are absorbed more rapidly than the amino acids because their uptake involves a separate mechanism. Dipeptides activate G-cells found in the stomach to secrete gastrin. gamma-Glutamylglycine is an excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist with a structure similar to gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) (PMID: 6146532 ).
