Description
GLUTATHIONE
For Research Use Only | Not for Human or Veterinary Use
Description:
Glutathione (GSH) is an endogenous tripeptide antioxidant composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine, investigated in research for its critical role in cellular redox homeostasis, detoxification, and oxidative stress defense. This compound serves as the primary intracellular buffer against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is essential for maintaining the glutathione-disulfide (GSSG) cycling system. Glutathione participates in antioxidant defense, detoxification via glutathione S-transferase conjugation, immune cell function, and mitochondrial protection, making it fundamental to numerous experimental models of oxidative stress, aging, and metabolic dysfunction.
