Glutathione yɛ polypeptide a cysteine ​​wom, a ɛwɔ abɔde a nkwa wom dodow no ara mu. Wontumi nnom mfi aduan no mu nanso wɔyɛ fi amino acid a ɛne no hyia wɔ nkwammoaa no mu. Esiane sɛ sulfhydryl kuw a ɛwɔ cysteine ​​so no so tew na wobetumi atew so wɔ oxidation akyi nti, glutathione wɔ antioxidant dwumadi. Wɔ nkwammoaa no mu no, glutathione yɛ oxidized anaasɛ oxidized tẽẽ denam metabolites ne enzymes bi te sɛ ascorbate, glutathione peroxidase, ne glutaredoxin a ɛwɔ glutathione-ascorbate cycle (glutathione-ascorbate cycle) mu.

Wɔ abɔdeɛ bi mu no, glutathione bɛsi sulfhydryl foforɔ-a ɛwɔ polypeptides, te sɛ mycothiol (Accys-GLCN-INS) a ɛwɔ actinomycetes mu, ne bacillithithithiol (Cys{1111}}GLCN{923) a ɛwɔ hɔ no. mal) substitution, wɔ kinetic nipadua no mu denam trypanothione (Trypanothione) so.
