Sarcosine: History & Research

Sarcosine, also known as N-methylglycine, or monomethylglycine, is a non-proteinogenic amino acid with the formula CH3N(H)CH2CO2H. It is the N-methyl derivative of glycine, with a secondary amine in place of the primary amine, and occurs naturally in muscles and other body tissues as an intermediate in the metabolism of choline to glycine. It was first…
