S-Formylglutathione
S-Formylglutathione, also known as L-gamma-glutamyl-S-formyl-L-cysteinylglycine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oligopeptides. These are organic compounds containing a sequence of three to ten alpha-amino acids joined by peptide bonds. S-Formylglutathione is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). S-Formylglutathione exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, S-formylglutathione has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as sweet marjorams, muscadine grapes, amaranths, lemon verbena, and garden tomato. This could make S-formylglutathione a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. S-Formylglutathione is formed from the oxidation of S-hydroxymethylglutathione by the enzyme formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH; EC 1.2.1.1) in the presence of NAD (PMID: 2806555). S-Formylglutathione is formed from the oxidation of S-hydroxymethylglutathione by the enzyme formaldehyde dehydrogenase (FDH; EC 1.2.1.1) in the presence of NAD (PubMed ID 2806555) [HMDB]. S-Formylglutathione is found in many foods, some of which are horseradish tree, wild carrot, japanese walnut, and red beetroot.
