The glyoxalase system catalases the conversion of methylglyoxal (and other 2-ketoaldehydes) to D-latic acid via teh intrmediate S-D-lactoglutathione.It comprises two enzymes, glyoxalases I and glyoxalases II, and catalytic amount to reduced glutathione.Methylglyoxal inhibits cell growth, while the glyoxalase system by breaking down methylglyoxal may act as a promoter of cell growth.Inhibitors of glyoxalase may serve as possible therapeutic agents against cancer by virtue of their ability to elevate the level of methylglyoxal in the body.
