Researched for: Vendor-neutral scientific reference catalog entry for reduced L-glutathione.
Also known as: Glutathione, L-glutathione reduced, Reduced glutathione, GSH, Glutathione-SH, L-γ-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine, γ-L-glutamyl-L-cysteinylglycine
Reduced L-glutathione is the reduced glutathione species represented by the γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine tripeptide. It contains a reactive cysteine thiol and is classified as a tripeptide, thiol, L-cysteine derivative, human metabolite, antioxidant, and cofactor. GSH participates in glutathione metabolism and redox reactions, including peroxide reduction and conversion to oxidized glutathione (GSSG).
Source review pending. This descriptive profile is shown from the available source material as a best-effort educational reference. It has not passed the full verification bar and is not a dosing instruction, medical claim, or treatment recommendation.

This record describes the chemical reference identity and endogenous biochemical roles of reduced glutathione. Human administration regimens, pharmacokinetic half-life, onset, storage conditions, and formulation-specific properties were not populated because they are route-, formulation-, and study-dependent and were not established here from the selected authoritative catalog sources. Common reference sizes were left empty because standardized scientific catalog sizes are not an intrinsic compound identity field.

Reduced glutathione is distinct from glutathione disulfide (GSSG), the oxidized disulfide form. The reduced species contains the free cysteine sulfhydryl group represented by GSH and is listed in KEGG as reduced glutathione.
