As a coenzyme of specific enzymes, GSH has the functions of scavenging free radicals, modifying proteins, protecting proteins and enzymes containing sulfhydryl groups in cell membranes from oxidation, catalyzing disulfide bond exchange reactions, and signal transduction. (nmn-bio.com)
It can protect the activity of thiol-containing enzymes (such as ATPase) in cells, restore the activity and function of sulfhydryl groups in damaged enzyme molecules, prevent denaturation of proteins (such as hemoglobin) caused by sulfhydryl oxidation, and reduce the attack of free radicals on DNA.
