What three amino acids make up glutathione?
A
Glutamic acid, cysteine, glycine
B
Glutamic acid, leucine, glycine
C
Glutamic acid, leucine, alanine
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A tripeptide comprised of three amino acids (cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine) present in most mammalian tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glutathione Conjugation Glutathione is made up of three amino acids-cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. Glutathione is found in the diet and is also synthesized in the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glutathione is an antioxidant and the three amino acid components that make up glutathione are glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. The liver synthesizes glutathione, and glutathione takes part in many processes in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glutathione is a tripeptide (cysteine, glycine, and glutamic acid) found in surprisingly high levels-5 millimolar-concentrations in most cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Glutathione, also referred to as GSH, is an endogenous component of cellular metabolism, a tripeptide composed of glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. It is normally present in the liver at a concentration of 10 mmol l−1.
