L-Glutathione (reduced glutathione, GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of L-glutamate, L-cysteine, and glycine, joined through an unusual γ-glutamyl bond. It is among the most abundant intracellular antioxidants and functions as a central component of the cellular redox system, serving as a substrate for glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase enzymes across antioxidant, oxidative-stress, and detoxification research.
BENEFITS
Antioxidant defense — studied as a primary intracellular scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS)
Redox balance — investigated for its role in maintaining the cellular GSH/GSSG ratio
Detoxification research — examined as a cofactor in phase II conjugation and xenobiotic clearance
Cysteine delivery — studied as a transport and storage form of bioavailable cysteine
Cellular protection — explored in models of oxidative and electrophilic stress
WHAT RESEARCHERS LOOK AT
GSH/GSSG ratio as a marker of cellular redox state
Glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase enzyme activity
Conjugation reactions catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases
