Research Context
Glutathione is the most abundant intracellular thiol and a standard reference compound in redox biology and oxidative-stress research. Its unusual gamma peptide bond between glutamate and cysteine distinguishes it from conventional peptides. Ascend Research supplies Glutathione strictly as a laboratory reference material; no representation is made regarding any physiological outcome, and it is not supplied for use in humans or animals.
Handling and Reconstitution
Allow the vial to reach room temperature before opening. Reconstitute with sterile water and swirl gently. The free thiol group oxidises readily on exposure to air, so minimise headspace and handling time. Store the lyophilised powder dry at 2–8°C, refrigerate reconstituted material and use within 30 days.
What's Included
- One lyophilised vial (1500mg)
- Protective packaging
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CAS number for Glutathione?
70-18-8 for the reduced form.
What is the difference between GSH and GSSG?
GSH is the reduced form (supplied here); GSSG is the oxidised dimer formed when two GSH molecules link via a disulfide bond.
What makes glutathione's structure unusual?
The bond between glutamate and cysteine is a gamma peptide bond, not the standard alpha linkage.
Why should air exposure be minimised?
The free thiol group oxidises readily, converting GSH to GSSG.
How is Glutathione stored?
Dry at 2–8°C. Refrigerate after reconstitution and use within 30 days.
Where does Ascend Research ship from?
Orders are dispatched from within Australia.
