Background: Glyoxalase II

The glyoxalase system consists of two enzymes, Glyoxalase I and Glyoxalase II. The purpose of the glyoxalase system is to detoxify alpha-ketoaldehydes, particularly methylglyoxal, a by-product of glycolysis (1). Glyoxalase II catalyzes the hydrolysis of S-lactoylglutathione, the product of the glyoxalase I reaction, to glutathione and lactate (2). Glyoxalase II exists as two isoforms, one cytosolic and one mitochondrial (3). The enzyme is believed to be important for the response of cells to stress (4).
