Extra Details:
γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine (γ-Glu-Cys) is a substrate used for the biosynthesis of L-glutathione by glutathione synthetase(s). γ-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: γ-Glu-Cys; γ-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. Lyophilized from 0.1% TFA. Solubility (50mgml H2O): Colorless, clear to slightly hazy Water Content: ≤11% Amino Acid Sequence: Glu-Cys Storage and Stability: Store at -20ºC.
