Overview
Glutathione is the primary intracellular tripeptide antioxidant, central to redox biology, detoxification enzyme systems, and oxidative stress research models.
Key facts
Compound type: Tripeptide antioxidant
Form: Lyophilized powder
Appearance: White to off-white lyophilized material
Synonyms
GSH · L-Glutathione reduced · γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine
Research interest areas
Redox balance assays
Glutathione peroxidase coupled reactions
Oxidative stress models
Cell viability under ROS challenge
Storage information
2–8 °C (lyophilized, sealed)
2–8 °C sealed; protect from oxidation and moisture.
Stability notes
Reduced glutathione oxidizes to GSSG — store lyophilized sealed, reconstitute fresh when possible, or use stabilized formulations per SOP.
