S-Nitroso-L-glutathione is an S-nitrosothiol NO donor based on naturally-occurring glutathione. It is a potent smooth muscle relaxant and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Its stability in solution varies from seconds to hours depending on temperature, buffer composition, and metal content.
A carrier of nitric oxide, relaxing smooth muscle and inhibiting platelet activation
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.
ChEBI: S-nitrosoglutathione is a glutathione derivative that is glutathione in which the hydrogen attached to the sulfur has been replaced by a nitroso group. It has a role as a platelet aggregation inhibitor, a bronchodilator agent, a nitric oxide donor and a signalling molecule. It is a glutathione derivative and a nitrosothio compound. It is a conjugate acid of a S-nitrosoglutathione(2-).
A utility carrier of nitric oxide. Breaks down at physiological pH to produce nitric oxide. Causes smooth muscle relaxation and inhibits platelet aggregation. Induces apoptosis in mouse thymocytes. Note: 1 set = 5 x 2.5 mg.
A carrier of NO, relaxing smooth muscle and inhibiting platelet aggregation.
Product does not compete with ATP.
