118421-50-4 Usage
Uses
Glutathione reduced ethyl ester has been shown to be much more easily transported into isolated rat hepatocytes than glutathione. Within the cells it could be converted into reduced glutathione. Therefore it could - better than glutathione - prevent immun
General Description
Cell-permeable derivative of glutathione (GSH) that undergoes hydrolysis by intracellular esterases thereby increasing intracellular GSH concentration in many tissues and cell types. Effective transport of GSH-MEE has been used to protect cells against radiation damage, oxidants and various toxic compounds including heavy metals. A protective agent against cellular damage, such as cataracts and mitochondrial degeneration.

Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 118421-50-4 includes 9 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 6 digits, 1,1,8,4,2 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 118421-50:
(8*1)+(7*1)+(6*8)+(5*4)+(4*2)+(3*1)+(2*5)+(1*0)=104
104 % 10 = 4
So 118421-50-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
