Glycine

Glycine is an amino acid found in both plants and animals.

In many organisms, Glycine is biosynthesized by Serine, another amino acid. Glycine is proteinogenic (builds proteins), though most proteins incorporate only a small amount of the amino acid. Glycine also provides the building blocks for purine synthesis. Glycine is also partly responsible for synthesizing D-Aminolevulinic Acid (DALA) which is the precursor to porphyrins, such as Chlorophyll - in this way Glycine is directly tied to Chlorophyll regulation within plants. Glycine works with Succinyl-CoA to biosynthesize DALA; Succinyl-CoA is a combination of Succinic Acid and Coenzyme A, which is itself derived from Pantothenate and Cysteine.
