Product Description
S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is an endogenous nitrogen oxide and is highly distributed in extracellular fluids of the lung and brain.
S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), an amino acid nitric oxide donor, when under physiological conditions spontaneously releases nitric oxide. In research it has been observed to selectively inhibit platelet activation and display cardioprotective effects. This product also inhibits NF-κB activation, endothelial cell proliferation and cathepsin B (cysteine proteases). GNSO has demonstrated dose dependent effects on Thymocytes by inducing apoptosis in T cells in low concentrations (< 0.6 mM), while protecting T cells from apoptosis in higher concentrations (1-2 mM).
S-Nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) has been used:
• as a standard in reversed phase chromatography coupled to chemical vapour generation and atomic fluorescence detector (RPC-CVGAFS) and reversed phase chromatography fluorimetric (RPC-FD).
• as a standard in spectrophotometric and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay.
A spontaneously releasing nitric oxide donor which inhibits NFκB and platelet activation.
