gamma-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine (gamma-Glu-Cys) is a substrate used for the biosynthesis of L-glutathione by glutathione synthetase(s). gamma-Glu-Cys is generated by the cleavage of the Cys-Gly peptide bond of glutathione. It is also essential for the formation of phytochelatins, which are cysteine-rich thiol-reactive peptides. Synonyms: gamma-Glu-Cys, gamma-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine, des-Gly-glutathione reduced CAS Number: 636-58-8 Molecular Formula: C8H14N2O5S Molecular Weight: 250.27 Purity: 80% (HPLC) Peptide Content: 60% (Elemental analysis) Appearance: White to off-white solid.
