Dm_townsend@fccc.edu,,,Abstract AbstractReduced glutathione reduction of glutathione (GSH) is the most prevalent non-protein thiol in animal cells. Its de novo and salvage. Synthesis serves to maintain a reduced cellular environment and the tripeptide is a co-factor for many cytoplasmic enzymes. And may also act as an important post-translational modification in a number of cellular proteins. The cysteine thiol acts. As a nucleophile in reactions with both exogenous and endogenous electrophilic species. As a consequence reactive oxygen,, Species (ROS) are frequently targeted by GSH in both spontaneous and catalytic reactions. Since ROS have defined roles in. Cell signaling events as well as in human disease pathologies an imbalance, in expression of GSH and associated enzymes. Has been implicated in a variety of circumstances. Cause and effect links between GSH metabolism and diseases such, as cancer. Neurodegenerative, diseases cystic fibrosis (CF), HIV and aging, have been shown. Polymorphic expression of enzymes involved. In GSH homeostasis influences susceptibility and progression of these conditions. This review provides an overview of the. Biological importance of GSH at the level of the cell and organism.
