Identification
Name:Glutathionylspermidine
DescriptionGlutathionylspermidine is a member of the chemical class known as Alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Glutathionylspermidine (Gsp) is a metabolite common to Escherichia coli and protozoal parasites of the Trypanosoma family. (PMID 9398217) Glutathionylspermidine is an intermediate formed in the biosynthesis of trypanothione, an essential metabolite in defence against chemical and oxidative stress in the Kinetoplastida. (PMID 18959765) Glutathionylspermidine is formed as end product and the enzyme lacks TryS activity. (PMID 12049631)
