About Glutathione Peptide UK

Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine and glycine. It is one of the most important intracellular redox molecules and is widely used in biochemical research examining oxidative stress, thiol chemistry, cellular antioxidant systems and glutathione-dependent enzymes.

Glutathione Research

Research uses glutathione to study the balance between reduced glutathione and its oxidised form, glutathione disulfide — a redox couple described in one review as a central player in redox signaling for what remains one of the most studied antioxidants (Learn more). This redox couple provides information about cellular oxidative state. Glutathione is also central to glutathione peroxidase and glutathione transferase pathways, xenobiotic metabolism and broader research into mitochondrial and cellular redox homeostasis, alongside related redox-research compounds such as [Methylene Blue].
