In the first step, the -glutamyl transpeptidase catalyzes the transfer of gamma-glutamyl functional groups from GSH to the cysteinylglycine dipeptide, which is subsequently convert to cysteine and glycine by a cysteinylglycine dipeptidase
Importantly, proteolytic cleavage of SPARC (secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine), a matricellular protein abundantly expressed at sites of vascular injury and tissue remodeling, generates GHK-containing fragments that promote endothelial cell proliferation and neovascularization

In a case series of patients with treatment-resistant depression, pramipexole (D3 agonist) treatment was particularly effective in patients with higher levels of IL-17 (Fawcett et al., 2016)
Unlike most antioxidants, glutathione can be made in the human liver
