Glutathione 600 mg: research material

Buy Glutathione 600 mg for laboratory research, supplied as lyophilized powder in one boxed 3 mL vial.

Glutathione is a tripeptide studied in cellular redox chemistry. Its reference structure contains glutamate, cysteine and glycine, with a gamma-glutamyl linkage rather than an ordinary alpha-peptide linkage at the glutamate residue.

Choose the material and presentation

The ChEBI glutathione record identifies the reference structure. Reduced glutathione is commonly abbreviated GSH; its oxidized disulfide form is GSSG. Match the redox form required by the assay to the supplied product records.

The labeled 600 mg states the amount of material. It does not specify the concentration of a prepared solution or establish the proportion present in a particular oxidation state. For quantitative work, chemical form and the reporting basis matter alongside mass.

Glutathione in compartment-specific redox research

Kojer and colleagues used fluorescent redox reporters in yeast to compare the cytosol, mitochondrial intermembrane space and mitochondrial matrix. The intermembrane-space and cytosolic glutathione pools were dynamically connected through porins; the study did not observe comparable communication between the intermembrane-space and matrix pools.

The researchers also linked the local glutathione environment to the oxidation state of Mia40, a protein involved in mitochondrial oxidative folding. These results explain why a redox measurement needs a defined cellular location and experimental condition. They do not establish a detoxification, skin-lightening or clinical effect for this supplied research material.

Product records and batch reports

Use the product documentation section to review available lot reports and product files. Check whether a result concerns identity, chromatographic purity, measured content or redox state; these are different properties.

A certificate of analysis reports the tested sample and method. It does not substitute for confirming compatibility with your assay. Follow the applicable material records and laboratory method for handling, rather than borrowing a storage period or preparation rule from another supplier.
