Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name OLEOYL GLYCINE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

N-Oleoylglycine

N-oleoylglycine is a fatty acid derivative that is the 9Z-octadecenoyl derivative of glycine. It is believed to be an intermediate in oleamide biosynthesis. It has a role as a metabolite. It is a N-acylglycine 18:1 and a fatty amide. It is functionally related to an oleic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a N-oleoylglycinate. — ChEBI
