The Role of Glutathione in the Body Antioxidant Defense : Glutathione helps to protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals and environmental toxins
Higher-yield expression strategies, particularly for low-yield species like human, platypus, and porcine IF, could be developed through media optimisation, co-expression with chaperones, or expression in alternative hosts such as insect or mammalian cells to preserve native folding and glycosylation (see our critical discussions in proof-of-concept)
