The first publications reported enzyme activity involving displacement of a halide ion from an aromatic compound, resulting in an S-substituted glutathione conjugate ( GSTs were first recognized as enzymes inactivating xenobiotics, in particular electrophilic mutagens and carcinogens, leading to their excretion as mercapturic acids ( An independent set of reports identified a remarkably abundant protein in liver with affinity for carcinogens, steroid hormones, bilirubin and synthetic dyes
Understanding peptides remain experimental for vision applications
For example, SQRDL gene variant rs1044032 is associated with lower risk of PMOP (odds ratio 0.80), a finding validated in multiple East Asian populations
Additionally, certain genetic mutations can affect the body's ability to produce glutathione , which may warrant supplementation. Glutathione is also linked to the newly popular NAC, or N-acetyl cysteine supplements
