Description γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine (also known as γ-glutamylcysteine) is a precursor of glutathione. It is formed by glutamate—cysteine ligase and used by glutathione synthetase to form glutathione . N-gamma-glutamylcysteine is a member of the class of compounds known as dipeptides. Dipeptides are organic compounds containing a sequence of exactly two alpha-amino acids joined by a peptide bond. N-gamma-glutamylcysteine is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). N-gamma-glutamylcysteine can be found in garden onion, which makes N-gamma-glutamylcysteine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
