Research Overview
Glutathione (GSH)
Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. Widely distributed in living cells, it is a fundamental molecule extensively studied for its central role in cellular redox balance, antioxidant defense, and detoxification mechanisms. The molecule functions as a primary intracellular antioxidant by donating electrons to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals. In research models, the thiol group of the cysteine residue is essential for its biochemical activity and reversible redox cycling between its reduced (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) forms.
