The supply pathway involves the export of GSH from astrocytes via the multidrugresistance protein 1 (Mrp1), extracellular processing of GSH by astrocytic glutamyl transpeptidase (GT) to the dipeptide cysteinylglycine (CysGly) and hydrolysis of this dipeptide by neuronal aminopeptidase N (ApN) to cysteine (Cys) and glycine (Gly)
