Function

Function:
Catalyzes the conversion of hemimercaptal, formed from methylglyoxal and glutathione, to S-lactoylglutathione. Involved in the regulation of TNF-induced transcriptional activity of NF-kappa-B. Required for normal osteoclastogenesis.
Pathway:
Secondary metabolite metabolism; methylglyoxal degradation; (R)-lactate from methylglyoxal: step 1/2.
Catalytic Activity:
(R)-S-lactoylglutathione = glutathione + methylglyoxal.
Cofactor:
COFACTOR: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105;
Kinetics:
BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES: ; Kinetic parameters: KM=1.3 mM for methylglyoxal/glutathione (native form)
Enzyme Regulation:
ENZYME REGULATION: Regulated by oxidation of Cys-139 in response to the redox state of the cell. Results in the alternative formation of cystine or glutathione-bound cysteine, the latter modification leading to reduced enzyme activity.
Active Site:
ACT_SITE 173 173 Proton donor/acceptor.
