Description
L-Glutathione is a tripeptide (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine) serving as the primary intracellular antioxidant and master regulator of cellular redox status.
Key research applications:
- Reactive oxygen species (ROS) neutralization – direct scavenging and enzymatic detoxification
- Thiol homeostasis – GSH/GSSG ratio maintenance
- Phase II detoxification – glutathione S-transferase conjugation pathways
- Redox signaling – protein glutathionylation and transcriptional regulation
L-Glutathione is a foundational compound in biochemical research exploring oxidative stress models, hepatic detoxification mechanisms, mitochondrial function, and glutathione peroxidase/reductase enzymatic systems.
For laboratory research only. Not intended for human consumption.
