glutathione production Synthase - an overview The “Glutathione Pathway.” Glutathione synthesis,

Inducible expression of the g-glutamylcysteine synthetase light subunit by t-butylhydroquinone in HepG2 cells is not dependent on an antioxidant-responsive element

Cysteine and glycine as well as -glutamyl amino acids are moved into cells by specific amino acid transporters and used for GSH biosynthesis (Meister, 1991)

The primary function of GSH is to maintain the redox potential of the cell, which is directly connected to GSH concentration, and to prevent cellular damages caused by reactive oxygen species or toxic heavy metals
