Glutathione
Glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant endogenous low-molecular-weight thiol, a tripeptide (Glu-Cys-Gly, CAS 70-18-8) present in virtually all mammalian cells. Three biochemical roles define its research utility: obligate cofactor for glutathione peroxidase-driven ROS detoxification, electrophile substrate for glutathione S-transferases in phase II xenobiotic metabolism, and electron donor in the glutathione-ascorbate redox cycle. Experimentally, it is deployed to titrate cellular redox state in oxidative stress models and to interrogate thiol-disulfide exchange kinetics in protein chemistry assays. For laboratory research use only.
