Glutathione, is a naturally occurring tripeptide composed of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. It is widely studied in biochemical and cellular research due to its important role in redox regulation, cellular antioxidant systems, thiol metabolism, and oxidative-stress pathways. Because of these properties, glutathione is being investigated in research related to cellular protection mechanisms, redox signaling, metabolic processes, and broader biochemical pathways.
