Research Compound

GLUTATHIONE

Endogenous Antioxidant Tripeptide

Overview

Glutathione is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine that functions as a central endogenous antioxidant within cells. It participates directly in redox reactions, supports detoxification pathways, and helps maintain the cellular redox environment required for normal biochemical function.

This reference material is provided in a research-grade format to support controlled in vitro and in vivo investigations of redox biology, oxidative stress, and cellular antioxidant systems.
