What is Glutathione?

Glutathione (GSH, L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine connected by a gamma-peptide bond between the glutamate side chain and cysteine amino group. It is the most abundant low-molecular-weight thiol in mammalian cells, with intracellular concentrations ranging from 1-10 mM. GSH serves as the primary intracellular antioxidant and redox buffer. The ratio of reduced GSH to oxidized GSSG is a key indicator of cellular oxidative stress status. Published research has characterized its roles in xenobiotic detoxification via GST conjugation, immune cell function, and maintenance of protein thiol status. For laboratory research use only.
