GLO1 catalyzes the conversion of glutathione and methylglyoxal to lactoylglutathione. 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. Relevance GLO1 is a target for drugs against bacteria, protozoans and cancer[2]. The GLO system is a focus of research on metabolic control and prevention of vascular complications in diabetes and obesity[3]. Structural highlights [4]. Water molecules shown as red spheres.
