General multiple functions of GSH A. Reducing agent, antioxidant B. Detoxification of xenobiotic C. Metabolic regulation. GSH levels in human tissues normally range from 0.1 to 10 millimolar (mM). Glutathione plays a central role in the maintenance of tissue antioxidant defenses and in the regulation of redox sensitive signal transduction. Glutathione transferases (GST) are essentially known as enzymes that catalyze.
