In mitochondria, GSH regulates apoptosis via modulation of oxidative phosphorylation and cytochrome c activity
However, mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to a buildup of ROS due to an imbalance in their production and degradation 4,5 Another major source of ROS is NADPH oxidase (Nox), a membrane-bound enzyme complex that produces superoxide by transferring an electron to oxygen from NADPH
This stability profile is one reason the peptide is frequently selected as a benchtop reference compound for cytoprotection assays
