Glutathione 600mg
Glutathione
CAS: 70-18-8
Glutathione (GSH) is the primary cellular antioxidant tripeptide (Glu-Cys-Gly). Substrate for glutathione peroxidases (GPx), glutathione S-transferases, and the thioredoxin system. Critical for melanogenesis research — high GSH shifts tyrosinase from eumelanin to phaeomelanin production. 99.3% HPLC purity.
Specifications
For laboratory research use only. Not for human consumption.
Mechanism of Action
Direct ROS scavenging via thiol group, GPx-mediated H2O2 reduction, and Phase II detoxification conjugation. In pigmentation research, GSH inhibits tyrosinase and shifts melanin synthesis from dark eumelanin to lighter phaeomelanin.
Research FAQ
How does Glutathione relate to skin research?
High intracellular GSH shifts tyrosinase enzyme activity away from eumelanin (dark pigment) toward phaeomelanin (lighter pigment) production, and reduces oxidative stress in keratinocytes — two mechanisms relevant to skin tone research.
