| + | * '''GLO1''' or '''lactoylglutathione lyase''' catalyzes the conversion of glutathione and methylglyoxal to lactoylglutathione.<br /> | ||
| + | * '''GLO2''' is a metalloenzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactoylglutathione to glutathione and lactate. GLO2 exists as cytosolic and mitochondrial forms. For details on GLO2 see [[Leishmania infantum Glyoxalase II]]. | ||
