Glyoxalase pathway is the primary route for metabolism of methylglyoxal (MG), a toxic ubiquitous metabolite that affects redox homeostasis. It neutralizes MG using Glyoxalase I and Glyoxalase II (GLYI and GLYII) enzymes in the presence of reduced glutathione. In addition, there also exists a shorter...
