Product Description
L-Glutathione (GSH) Overview
L-Glutathione (reduced form, GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of γ-L-glutamic acid, L-cysteine, and glycine. Identified by CAS No. 70-18-8, this sulfur-containing compound features a reactive thiol (-SH) group that plays a central role in cellular redox regulation.
As a key reducing agent, GSH is widely employed in in vitro biochemical and cellular research to investigate oxidative metabolism, redox signaling, and protein thiol–disulfide exchange reactions. Its ability to interact with reactive oxygen species (ROS), peroxides, and electrophilic compounds makes it an essential reagent for studying antioxidant defense mechanisms and intracellular transport processes.
Research Applications
Reduced L-Glutathione is extensively utilized in laboratory research involving:
-
Oxidative stress and redox biology assays
-
Enzyme activity and protein folding studies
-
Free radical chemistry and antioxidant pathway analysis
-
Cellular detoxification and metabolic modeling
Comprehensive analytical documentation and specification data support reproducibility and accuracy in controlled experimental environments.
Quality Assurance and Manufacturing
Each batch of L-Glutathione supplied by SynoPept is manufactured in the USA under GMP-compliant conditions and undergoes independent third-party testing to confirm identity, purity, sterility, and endotoxin levels. Products are delivered as a white lyophilized powder to ensure stability and consistency for research use.
