S-(4-Hydroxybenzyl)glutathione（Cat No.:I044841）is a naturally occurring glutathione conjugate formed through the binding of glutathione with 4-hydroxybenzyl groups, often derived from tyrosine metabolism. This compound is found in certain medicinal plants like Gastrochilus and exhibits antioxidant and detoxifying properties. It plays a role in cellular defense by neutralizing reactive oxygen species and aiding in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds. The presence of the 4-hydroxybenzyl moiety enhances its redox activity, making it significant in maintaining cellular redox balance. It is of interest in oxidative stress research and potential therapeutic antioxidant applications.
