Description

Gamma-glutamylglycine (gamma-Glu-Gly) is a dipeptide composed of glutamic acid and glycine. It is a naturally occurring compound found in various tissues, including the brain, liver, and kidneys. It is formed through the enzymatic hydrolysis of glutathione by the enzyme gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase. Gamma-Glu-Gly is believed to play a role in detoxification and amino acid transport, particularly in the brain and liver. It is also thought to be involved in the regulation of oxidative stress and inflammation. Studies have shown that gamma-Glu-Gly possesses antioxidant properties, which may contribute to its protective effects against various diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and cancer. Research on gamma-Glu-Gly focuses on understanding its physiological roles, its potential therapeutic applications, and its interactions with other compounds. Its role in detoxification and amino acid transport, as well as its antioxidant properties, make it a promising target for future therapeutic interventions.'

gamma-glutamylglycine: RN given refers to (L)-isomer; note that tau here is used by some publishers in place of gamma and so does not mean position 20 on the carbon skeleton [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
