Modulates Gene Expression in Melanocytes It suppresses MITF (Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor), a regulator of tyrosinase and other pigmentation-related proteins
Typical applications include glutathione S-transferase phase-II conjugation assays, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase coupled assays, GSH/GSSG ratio determination as a redox readout in cultured cells, protein S-glutathionylation studies, and ferroptosis models where glutathione availability governs glutathione peroxidase 4 activity and therefore phospholipid hydroperoxide handling (Yang et al., Cell, 2014)
Some of the primary genes impacted are COL1A1 (matrix), VEGFA (angiogenesis), IL6 (inflammation), and SOD2 (oxidative defense)
