Glutathione

Description

Glutathione (γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinyl-glycine) is a ubiquitous tripeptide central to cellular redox balance. It is one of the most widely used reference compounds in in vitro laboratory research, including antioxidant capacity assays, glutathione-dependent enzyme studies, and oxidative-stress cell culture models.

Plumeo Research supplies reduced Glutathione in lyophilized form at ≥99% purity, verified by HPLC, with a Certificate of Analysis available for every batch.

Intended exclusively for in vitro laboratory research by qualified investigators. Not for human, veterinary, or clinical use.
