Chemical Information
FooDB NameGlutathione
DescriptionGlutathione, also known as GSH or agifutol S, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as peptides. Peptides are compounds containing an amide derived from two or more amino carboxylic acid molecules (the same or different) by formation of a covalent bond from the carbonyl carbon of one to the nitrogen atom of another. Glutathione is a drug which is used for nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance. Glutathione is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). A tripeptide compound consisting of glutamic acid attached via its side chain to the N-terminus of cysteinylglycine. Glutathione exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, glutathione participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, leukotriene A4 and glutathione can be converted into leukotriene C4 through its interaction with the enzyme leukotriene C4 synthase. In addition, 15(S)-hpete and glutathione can be converted into 15(S)-hete and oxidized glutathione through its interaction with the enzyme glutathione peroxidase 1. In humans, glutathione is involved in mefenamic acid action pathway. Outside of the human body, Glutathione is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as purslanes, spinachs, and corns. Glutathione has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as yautia, coconuts, common salsifies, pigeon pea, and ohelo berries. This could make glutathione a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Glutathione is a potentially toxic compound.
