Uses
Ligand useful for affinity chromatography of glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase.
Definition
ChEBI: S-hexylglutathione is an S-substituted glutathione that is glutathione in which the hydrogen of the thiol has been replaced by a hexyl group (PDB entry: 1PN9).
Biological Activity
S-Hexylglutathione may be used as an affinity chromatography ligand of glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase. S-Hexylglutathione is also used as an inhibitor to study the specificity and kinetics of enzymes such as mitochondrial membrane-bound glutathione transferase(s) (mtMGST1).
