Glutathione
Literature-based research context for laboratory reference only.
Glutathione is a tripeptide (γ-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine) and the most abundant intracellular antioxidant. Discovered by Frederick Gowland Hopkins in 1921, it is researched for its central role in redox homeostasis, xenobiotic detoxification, and immune modulation.

Overview
Glutathione is presented here as a laboratory reference entry. The Research Profile summarizes literature-based biological context, while this Overview documents the identity record, specification set, preparation format, and quality-reference information available on the page.
The identity block lists CAS number 70-18-8, molecular formula C₁₀H₁₇N₃O₆S, and molecular weight 307.3 Da. The material record is paired with ≥99% purity information and a lyophilized presentation for reference review.
Available specification labels include 600mg and 1500mg. The active selection is 600mg; changing the selector updates the visible specification label and COA lot references while preserving the same research-reference context.
For the active selection, the page currently shows 1 active COA lot reference. COA links, when present, are retained for batch-level purity, identity, and quantity review, while packaging and storage details remain separated in Structure & Identity.
