Glutathione 750mg (GSH) is the reduced form of the tripeptide L-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, supplied by Echo Peptides as a lyophilized powder for laboratory and in-vitro research use only. Formed from glutamate, cysteine, and glycine, its free thiol (–SH) group on the cysteine residue is the reactive center that lets researchers use it as a reference compound for intracellular redox chemistry and thiol-mediated conjugation.
In cell-culture and preclinical model systems, glutathione is studied as the principal endogenous antioxidant and as a cofactor for the enzymatic machinery that maintains cellular redox homeostasis. Investigators reference it when examining the reduced-to-oxidized (GSH/GSSG) ratio, thiol buffering capacity, and the role of glutathione-dependent enzymes in detoxification and free-radical scavenging.
