[gluta(mine) + thi(o)- + -one.]

glutathione [ˌgluːtəˈθaɪəʊn -θaɪˈəʊn]

(Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Biochemistry) Biochem a tripeptide consisting of glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine: important in biological oxidations and the activation of some enzymes. Formula: C₁₀H₁₇N₃O₆S

[from gluta(mic acid) + thi- + -one]

glutathione (gl

-th

)

A polypeptide consisting of glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid that occurs widely in plant and animal tissues. It is important in cellular respiration in both plants and animals, and serves as a cofactor for many enzymes. It is a major protective mechanism against oxidative stress. For example, it protects red blood cells from hydrogen peroxide, a toxic byproduct of certain metabolic reactions.
