AdipoGen L-Glutathione oxidized

Supplier:  AdipoGen CDXG0039G005

Chemical. CAS 27025-41-8. Formula C20H32N6O12S2. MW 612.63. Glutathione can occur in reduced GSH, oxidized GSSG, or in mixed disulfide forms and is ubiquitous in multiple biological systems serving as the major thiol-disulfide redox buffer of the cell. Glutathione, Oxidized GSSG is the oxidized version of the naturally occurring and very important antioxidant glutathione GSH. In vivo GSSG is reduced back to 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, therefore beeing an important bioindicator of cellular health. GSSG functions as a hydrogen acceptor in the enzymatic determination of NADP and NADPH and can be a proximal donor in S-glutathionylation post translational modifications.
