     We conducted survey observations of a glycine precursor, methanimine or methylenimine (CH$_{2}$NH), with the NRO 45 m telescope and the SMT telescope towards 12 high-mass and two low-mass star-forming regions in order to increase number of CH$_{2}$NH sources and to better understand the characteristics of CH2NH sources.
