General Information
Term glutathione biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0006750 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of glutathione, the tripeptide glutamylcysteinylglycine, which acts as a coenzyme for some enzymes and as an antioxidant in the protection of sulfhydryl groups in enzymes and other proteins.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
Also Known As "glutathione anabolism" ; "glutathione biosynthesis" ; "glutathione formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
