Glutathione is glutamic acid, cysteine and glycine combination of the three peptides, cysteine thiol on its active groups, glutathione has also prototype (G-SH) and oxidized type (GSSG) form, under physiological conditions to the majority of reduced glutathione, glutathione (GSH) is the main activity of the state, accounting for 95%; oxidized glutathione (GSSG) about 1% of the non-active state. Glutathione reductase catalyzing the interaction between the two types change. Coenzyme enzyme for the metabolism of sugar phosphates bypass provides NADPH.

 1. Glutathione  is a tripeptide that contains an unusual peptide linkage between the amine group of cysteine 

(which is attached by normal peptide linkage to a glycine) and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side-chain. It is an antioxidant, preventing damage to important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals and peroxides.

2. Thiol groups are reducing agents, existing at a concentration of approximately 5 mM in animal cells. Glutathione 

reduces disulfide bondsformed within cytoplasmic proteins to cysteines by serving as an electron donor. In the process, glutathione is converted to its oxidized form glutathione disulfide (GSSG), also called L(-)-Glutathione.

3. Glutathione is found almost exclusively in its reduced form, since the enzyme that reverts it from its oxidized form, glutathione reductase, is constitutively active and inducible upon oxidative stress. In fact, the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione within cells is often used as a measure of cellular toxicity.
