White lyophilized powder
|
Uses
|
L(-)-Glutathione is a biomarker for fatty liver disease.
|
Uses
|
S,S'-Ethylenebis(glutathione) is a haloethane-glutathione conjugate formed via GSH transferases. S,S'-Ethylenebis(glutathione) formation is used to study the polymorphism in glutathione conjugation ac tivity of human erythrocytes towards .
|
Uses
|
L-Glutathione is used as a Acts as hydrogen acceptor in enzymatic determination of NADP and NADPH, it is used to reduced back to glutathione (GSH) via the NADPH-dependent enzyme glutathione reductase. The ratio of GSH to GSSG is often used to gauge the level of oxidative stress in cells, with higher concentrations of GSSG implying more oxidative stress
|
Biochem/physiol Actions
|
L-Glutathione, oxidized is frequently measure in vivo as an indicator of oxidative stress. Oxidized L-Glutathione may be converted to L-glutathione by various reducing systems.
|
Purification Methods
|
Purify it by recrystallisation from 50% aqueous EtOH. Its solubility in H2O is 5%. Store it at 4o. [Li et al. J Am Chem Soc 76 225 1954, Berse et al. Can J Chem 37 1733 1959, Beilstein 4 IV 3168.]
