+ | '''Glyoxalase''' (GLO) is part of the glyoxalase system which detoxifies the highly toxic methylglyoxal and other aldehydes produced by metabolism<ref>PMID:10066594</ref>. <br /> | ||
+ | * '''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]]. | ||
