Description

Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine and glycine. It is studied as an endogenous antioxidant and for its role in phase II conjugation, in which it binds substrates for clearance.

Research context

• Oxidative stress models, including the recycling of ascorbate and tocopherol
• Hepatic conjugation and xenobiotic clearance pathways
• Tyrosinase inhibition and melanogenesis in cell culture
• Lymphocyte proliferation assays
