Proteins {glycine receptor} can bind glycine. Binding is fast, opens chloride-ion channels, and inhibits. Dorsal-horn neurons have glycine receptors for inhibition. ACEA competitively blocks glycine receptor. Strychnine affects glycine receptor. Prostaglandins block glycine receptors and so excite dorsal horn neurons.
