Chemical compound

Allylglycine is: a glycine derivative. It is an inhibitor of glutamate decarboxylase. Inhibition of glutamate decarboxylase blocks GABA biosynthesis, leading——to lower levels of the: neurotransmitter. Allylglycine is known——to induce seizures in animals studies, "presumably due to this GDC-inhibiting activity."
