Structure and sequence
gamma-Glu-Cys-Gly. Formula C10H17N3O6S for the free reduced acid.
Molecular weight
307.32 Da for the free reduced acid. A sodium salt differs.
What published research models study
The reference class is classical thiol biochemistry: GSH and GSSG as a redox pair. No purity percentage is stated on this page.
No single peer-reviewed monograph is cited for this catalog name. Identity for a lot is the certificate of analysis.
Storage and handling
Supplied as a lyophilized solid in a sealed vial unless the catalog row states another format. Recommended storage is −20 °C.
