Ophthalmic acid is an analog of this compound, whose namesake peroxidase is used to break down lipid hydroperoxides. This compound contains an unusual linkage between the side chain of one component and the amine group of another. This compound conjugates to the toxic metabolite NAQPI, which is why N-acetyl cysteine regenerates this compound in the liver during treatment for acetaminophen overdose. This compound is bound to sepharose beads used to purify substrates tagged with its namesake S-transferase enzyme, and it uses NADPH equivalents to transform from GSSG to GSH during oxidative stress. For 10 points, name this tripeptide consisting of glutamate, glycine, and cysteine, an important anti-oxidant.
