Biochem Physiol Actions: Ophthamalic acid is an analogue of glutathione isolated from crystalline lens. Ophthalmic acid could be used as a biomarker in oxidative stress. Ophthalmic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma-glutamyl peptides. These are oligo- and polypeptides consisting of any C-terminal alpha peptide having a gamma-glutamyl residue attached at the N alpha-position.
