Glutathione — Endogenous Tripeptide Antioxidant

Glutathione (GSH) is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine residues, distinguished by its unusual γ-peptide bond between the glutamate γ-carboxyl group and the cysteine amino group. This structural feature confers resistance to standard peptidase degradation and is central to glutathione's biological stability in research models.

As the most abundant low-molecular-weight thiol in mammalian cells, glutathione has been extensively characterized in published literature as a critical component of cellular redox homeostasis. The reduced form (GSH) serves as the primary intracellular antioxidant, participating in the neutralization of reactive oxygen species (ROS), conjugation reactions catalyzed by glutathione S-transferases, and maintenance of protein thiol status in laboratory assays.

AXOM Glutathione is manufactured under strict cGMP-equivalent protocols and verified to ≥99% purity via reverse-phase HPLC. Each lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis documenting identity, purity, peptide content, and endotoxin levels. Available in 600mg lyophilized format for research use only.

Tripeptide Antioxidant

Endogenous tripeptide with γ-peptide bond linkage — the most abundant intracellular thiol studied in redox biochemistry and oxidative stress research.

γ-Peptide Bond

Contains an unusual gamma linkage between glutamate and cysteine, conferring resistance to conventional peptidase hydrolysis in in-vitro assays.

Research-Grade Purity

≥99% HPLC-verified purity with full COA documentation. Every lot independently tested by third-party analytical laboratories.

Glutathione and its network of enzymes and transporters in cellular defense and metabolism
Forman HJ, Zhang H, Rinna A. • Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2009 • DOI: 10.1016/j.mam.2008.08.009

Comprehensive review characterizing the enzymatic network surrounding glutathione metabolism, including glutathione peroxidases, glutathione S-transferases, and the γ-glutamyl cycle. Detailed analysis of GSH's role as the principal intracellular reductant and its interplay with thioredoxin and other redox-active systems in cellular assays.

Glutathione synthesis and its role in redox signaling
Lu SC. • Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 2013 • DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2012.09.008

In-depth examination of glutathione biosynthesis via the two-step ATP-dependent pathway catalyzed by γ-glutamylcysteine ligase and glutathione synthetase. This study characterizes the regulatory mechanisms controlling GSH levels and the compound's participation in thiol-disulfide exchange reactions relevant to redox signaling research.

Glutathione! (Integrative Medicine Review)
Pizzorno J. • Integrative Medicine: A Clinician's Journal, 2014

Review article summarizing decades of published research on glutathione's biochemistry, including its role in Phase II conjugation reactions, maintenance of ascorbate and tocopherol in reduced forms, and its characterization as a critical cellular thiol in published laboratory studies across multiple research disciplines.

Reconstitution Protocol

Glutathione is supplied as a lyophilized powder and should be reconstituted with sterile bacteriostatic water (BAC water) for research applications.

  • Allow the vial to reach room temperature before reconstitution
  • Add bacteriostatic water slowly along the vial wall
  • Gently swirl — do not shake or vortex
  • Allow the solution to stand until fully dissolved
  • Solution should appear clear and colorless

Storage Conditions

  • Lyophilized (unopened): Store at -20°C for long-term stability. Stable at 2–8°C for up to 90 days.
  • Reconstituted: Store at 2–8°C (refrigerated). Use within 28 days of reconstitution.
  • Protect from light, moisture, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Do not use if solution appears cloudy or contains particulate matter.

Shipping

All orders ship within the continental United States via USPS or UPS. Peptides are shipped at ambient temperature — lyophilized peptides are stable during transit. Free shipping on orders over $250.
