Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glutathione is known for its roles as an antioxidant, a cofactor for antioxidant enzymes, protection against xenobiotics, and maintaining sulfhydryl groups in a reduced form. It does not provide reducing equivalents for nitrogen fixation; this is a function more commonly associated with molecules like ferredoxin or leghemoglobin in nitrogen-fixing bacteria and plants.
