+* '''GLO1''' or '''lactoylglutathione lyase''' catalyzes the conversion of glutathione and methylglyoxal to lactoylglutathione.<br />
 * '''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]].
