Introduction

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide compound formed by the condensation of glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine through peptide bonds, and its chemical name is γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl- Glycine, its structural formula is shown in Figure 1. As can be seen from the structural formula in the figure, GSH is different from other peptides and proteins. It has a special peptide bond in its molecule, which is composed of the γ-carboxyl group (—COOH) of glutamic acid and the α-amino group of cysteine—(— NH2) condensed peptide bonds.

Chemical properties

Use

Reduced glutathione is a small-molecule peptide that exists in large quantities in living organisms, especially in liver cells. It can protect liver cell membranes, promote liver enzyme activity, and combine with many toxic chemicals to detoxify. effect. It has a good curative effect on liver injury, liver cirrhosis and other diseases caused by drug poisoning, alcoholism and other reasons.

It has the functions of anti-oxidation, scavenging free radicals, detoxification, enhancing immunity, anti-aging, anti-cancer, and anti-radiation hazard.

Uses: Biochemical reagents, antidote, mainly used for poisoning of heavy metals, acrylonitrile, fluoride, carbon monoxide and organic solvents

Biochemical research

An endogenous antioxidant that plays an important role in the reduction of reactive oxygen species formed during cellular metabolism and burst respiration. Glutathione-S-transferases catalyze the formation of glutathione thioethers with xenobiotics, leukotrienes, and other molecules with electrophilic centers. Glutathione also forms disulfide bonds with cysteine residues in proteins. Through these mechanisms, it may have the miraculous effect of reducing the efficacy of anticancer agents.
