abstract = {Bitopertin is a small molecule selective inhibitor of
glycine transporter 1 (GlyT1), initially developed to
increase brain extracellular levels of glycine in the
vicinity of neuronal N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors for the
treatment of schizophrenia. GlyT1, the pharmacological
target of bitopertin, is also present as a transmembrane
transporter in erythroid cells1 and accounts for $50–55\%$
of glycine uptake in human red blood cells (RBCs).2, 3
Erythroid GlyT1 inhibition by bitopertin leads to reduced
intracellular glycine availability, interfering with the
first step of haem synthesis, in which 5-aminolevulinate
synthase catalyses the condensation reaction between glycine
and succinyl-coenzyme A, forming 5-aminolevulinic acid.1},
