Features

L-Glutathione reduced is an antioxidant that helps to protect cells from reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides. By acting as an electron donor, glutathione reduces any disulfide bond formed within cytoplasmic proteins to cysteines.

L-Glutathione reduced is a thiol compound and is associated with catabolism and transportation.

Endogenous antioxidant that plays a major role in reducing reactive oxygen species formed during cellular metabolism and the respiratory burst.  

Applications

L-Glutathione reduced is used in the elution buffer to elute GST (glutathione S-transferase)-fused proteins using glutathione-agarose beads.

It is used to prepare a standard curve for GSH analyses.

May be used at 5-10 mM to elute glutathione S-transferase (GST) from glutathione agarose.

L-Glutathione reduced acts as a hydrogen donor in the detoxification of hydrogen peroxide.

As a dietary supplement, L-Glutathione reduced possesses various systemic effects such as improvement of liver abnormalities,3,4 improvement of diabetic complication,5 protection from viral infection,6 and antitumor activity.
