application fields of glutathione

Product Introduction

Glutathione is a small molecule peptide substance that contains sulfhydryl groups.

Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine.

The sulfhydryl group on the cysteine is its active group. Glutathione exists in two forms: reduced form (G-SH) and oxidized form (G-S-S-G).

The reduced form of glutathione (GSH) is the main active state, accounting for approximately 95%.

The oxidized form of glutathione (GSSG) constitutes approximately 1% of the non-active state.

Glutathione reductase catalyzes the interconversion between the two forms.
