Growth hormones such as glycine, glutamines and amino acids can help you grow taller.

Proteins with these abnormally long tracts of glutamines are highly susceptible to misfolding and aggregation.
-
To find out if HSF1A could initiate an HSF1 response in mammalian neurons, the researchers added it to an in vitro culture of rat neuronal precursor cells that expressed a mutant human huntingtin gene containing an expanded tract of glutamines.
-
Most people have a huntingtin protein whose polyglutamine segment contains 20 or so glutamines, and even a polyglutamine with as many as 35 repeats may not cause Huntington's symptoms.

-
It is known that while most people have a huntingtin protein whose polyglutamine segment contains 20 to 35 glutamines, patients with Huntington's have a block of 40 repeats or more.

-
Normal individuals have fewer than 27 repeats, hence fewer than 27 glutamines in the relevant peptide.
-
(htt) containing 74 glutamines fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP) (httQ74-GFP) is expressed in rat phaeochromocytoma (PC12) cells, a rat neuronal precursor cell line, via a doxycycline-inducible promoter.
