Concentration

Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine) that acts as the primary intracellular redox buffer. In laboratory settings, this compound is studied for its crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating the GSH/GSSG ratio. It is a fundamental reagent for investigating detoxification pathways, oxidative stress defense, and mitochondrial metal regulation. Supplied as a high-purity (>99%) lyophilized reagent. Strictly for laboratory use.

Chemical Description

Glutathione (GSH) is a ubiquitous, low-molecular-weight tripeptide found in virtually all mammalian cells. It is essential for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis, primarily through the dynamic cycling between its reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms. This balance is critical for protecting sulfhydryl groups on proteins and enzymes from reactive oxygen species (ROS). Glutathione is a cornerstone molecule in research focused on detoxification, free radical scavenging kinetics, and enzymatic activity, particularly for Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs).
