+== Function ==
-'''Glyoxalase''' (GLO) is part of glyoxalase system which detoxify the highly toxic methylglyoxal and other aldehydes produced by metabolism.  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]].
