Study Details Glutathione’s Role in Protein Folding Processes Linked to Cellular Aging A study published in Nature Cell Biology has detailed the mechanism by which glutathione, an antioxidant produced inside cells, supports protein folding within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Researchers identified the transporter protein SLC33A1 as a key regulator of glutathione movement into and out of the ER. Disruptions in this system have been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer, according to the report. [1] [2] Background on Glutathione and the Endoplasmic Reticulum Glutathione is synthesized from three amino acids and is present in nearly all tissues, helping manage oxidative stress and…
