Glutathione

SKU: orb1224193

Description

A tripeptide with many roles in cells. It conjugates to drugs to make them more soluble for excretion, is a cofactor for some enzymes, is involved in protein disulfide bond rearrangement and reduces peroxides.(In Vitro):L-Glutathione reduced is a non-protein thiol widely exists in living cells. L-Glutathione reduced plays important biological functions in the organism, including protein and DNA synthesis, enzyme activity, metabolism and cell protection. L-Glutathione reduced is capable of scavenging oxygen-derived free radicals and is established to be a marker of oxidative stress.
