Glutathione

Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine, present in the cytosol of most cell types. In laboratory research, it has been studied as a primary intracellular antioxidant and for its role in maintaining redox homeostasis. Investigations have also examined its participation in enzymatic detoxification pathways and cellular defense against oxidative stress in controlled research models. Research Characteristics: Endogenous tripeptide studied for its role in intracellular redox balance and antioxidant capacity Examined as a cofactor in glutathione peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase enzymatic pathways Investigated in laboratory research for functions in cellular detoxification and oxidative stress regulation
