  • glyoxalase system
  • methylglyoxal breakdown to D-lactate
  • methylglyoxal catabolism to D-lactate via S-lactoyl-glutathione
  • methylglyoxal degradation to D-lactate
  • methylglyoxal detoxification
Definition
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of methylglyoxal, CH3-CO-CHO, into D-lactate via the intermediate S-lactoyl-glutathione. Glutathione is used in the first step of the pathway and then regenerated in the second step. 2198020
