Glutathione (GSH) is named Reduced glutathione or L-GlutathioneReduced ,an important antioxidant in plants, animals, fungi, and some bacteria and archaea,a white crystalline powder. It is atripeptide with a gamma peptide linkage between the carboxyl group of the glutamate side chain and the amine group of cysteine, and the carboxyl group of cysteine is attached by normal peptide linkage to a glycine.Thiol groups are reducing agents, existing at a concentration around 5 mM in animal cells. Glutathione reduces disulfide bonds formed within cytoplasmicproteins to cysteines by serving as an electron donor. In the process, glutathione is converted to its oxidized form, glutathione disulfide (GSSG), also called L-glutathione.
Glutathione is a tripeptide molecule composed of three amino acids: glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. It is considered the body's master antioxidant due to its essential role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and maintaining cellular health. Glutathione acts as a powerful antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can damage cells and tissues. It helps prevent oxidative damage and supports the immune system.
It plays a crucial role in the detoxification process within cells, particularly in the liver. Glutathione binds to toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful substances, making them easier for the body to eliminate. Glutathione is important for immune function, as it helps regulate the activity of immune cells and supports their ability to fight infections and diseases.
