About Glutathione

Glutathione (GSH) is a γ-glutamyl tripeptide and the most abundant intracellular thiol antioxidant, biosynthesised from glutamate, cysteine and glycine. It has been researched extensively for its association with cellular redox balance, glutathione peroxidase activity and Phase II xenobiotic detoxification pathways. Supplied as lyophilised reduced GSH for in vitro research only.

Research Applications

Research Mechanism — Glutathione

A simplified summary of what Glutathione is studied for in research models. For laboratory in-vitro use only.

Sequence:γ-Glu-Cys-Gly (GSH)

Origin: Endogenous tripeptide synthesised in the cytosol via γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase and glutathione synthetase.

  1. Molecular target

    Glutathione is investigated as the principal intracellular thiol redox buffer. Preclinical work has examined its role as a cofactor for selenium-dependent peroxidase enzymes.

    • Cofactor for glutathione peroxidase (GPx1-GPx4)
    • Substrate for glutathione S-transferases (GSTs)
    • Modulator of the Nrf2/Keap1 redox-sensing axis
  2. Investigated pathways

    Studies have explored GSH:GSSG ratio dynamics during oxidative challenge. Research has associated glutathione with thiol-disulfide exchange across multiple redox-sensitive proteins.

    • Reduction of hydrogen peroxide via the GPx cycle
    • Phase II xenobiotic conjugation through GST activity
    • S-glutathionylation of cysteine residues on signalling proteins
  3. Preclinical research applications

    Preclinical studies have explored glutathione in hepatocyte, neuronal and erythrocyte models of oxidative stress. Not approved for human use.

    • In vitro hepatocyte models of acetaminophen-induced stress
    • Cell-culture assays of mitochondrial ROS handling
    • Rodent models examining γ-glutamyl cycle turnover

For research use only. Glutathione is not approved as a medicine in the UK and is not intended for human or veterinary administration. See the compliance page for full terms.
