Product details
Glutathione is an endogenous tripeptide used as a research reference for redox balance and detoxification enzyme systems. Pattern lists this material for controlled laboratory research.
Research Targets: Glutathione peroxidases, glutathione transferases, thiol-redox systems, reactive-oxygen-species pathway models.
Key Feature: Tripeptide redox cofactor used in oxidative-stress research.
Research Focus Areas: Oxidative-stress models, detoxification pathways, cellular stress-response markers, biochemical redox assays.
Common Models: Toxicology assays, oxidative-stress cell models, enzyme-activity studies.
Mechanistic Interests: ROS handling, thiol exchange, glutathione cycling, enzyme-mediated conjugation.
Use Boundary: Research use only; not for human or veterinary use; no diagnostic, therapeutic, or consumption use is implied.
Research context
Peptide guide
Open full guide- Guide profile
- Cellular Redox Tripeptide
- Composition
- Naturally occurring tripeptide antioxidant composed of three amino acids: glutamine (glutamic acid), cysteine, and glycine; synthesized in nearly every cell with highest concentrations in the liver
- Discovery
- First identified in 1888 by French biologist J. de Rey-Pailhade, who observed a substance in yeast that reacted with sulfur (initially called "philothion")
- Research scope
- Extensively studied in animal models (e.g., mice, rats) for its protective effects against oxidative stress, neurodegeneration, liver toxicity, inflammation, and immune modulation
- Regulatory status
- Remains a research compound without broad FDA approval for therapeutic use; widely used in wellness contexts
Safety context
- Copper/metal sensitivities warrant caution
- Limited major regulatory approval for medical treatment
- Human data are strongest in selected clinical contexts rather than generalized wellness claims
Research-use notice: Glutathione is central to human redox biology, but supplemental or compounded glutathione should not be treated as a broadly approved medical treatment. Evidence varies by indication and formulation, and clinical decisions require qualified medical oversight.
