General description
Cys-Gly, a dipeptide is a catabolic byproduct of glutathione.
Application
Cys-Gly has been used for derivatization by p-hydroxymercury benzoate (PHMB) for calibration of reversed phase chromatography coupled on-line and sequentially with a UV−visible diode array detector (RPLC-DAD).
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cys-Gly is a precursor for glutathione biosynthesis in the neurons. It favors reactive oxygen species generation in the presence of transition metal ions. A normal level of cys-gly is essential for normal cellular function.
L-Cysteine-L-Glycine (Cys-Gly) is used in studies on the homeostasis of glutathione. Cys-Gly is an important molecule for study in the areas of thiol homeostasis, oxidative stress and metals management.
