Biochemical properties

Glyoxalase I (lactoylglutathione lyase) is an ubiquitous Zn-binding enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the glyoxal pathway. S-lactoylglutathione is then converted by glyoxalase II to lactic acid. A glyoxalase I-like domain is found in other related proteins including the Bleomycin resistance protein and dioxygenases such as 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase [1].

Allergens from this family

A 33 kDa rice allergen was identified as a glyoxalase [2].
