Hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase
glyoxalase II, GLO2, HAGH
The enzyme encoded by this gene is classified as a thiolesterase and is responsible for the hydrolysis of S-lactoyl-glutathione to reduced glutathione and D-lactate. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010] (from

Promiscuous metallo-β-lactamases: MIM-1 and MIM-2 may play an essential role in quorum sensing networks.
New
Ireland. In J Inorg Biochem, Jan 2016
Although both sequence comparison and homology modeling indicate that these proteins are homologous to well-known MBLs such as AIM-1, the sequence analysis also indicated that MIM-1 and MIM-2 share similarities with N-acyl homoserine lactonases (AHLases) and glyoxalase II (GLX-II).

New
New Delhi, India. In Sci Rep, Dec 2015
Glyoxalase pathway, comprising glyoxalase I (GLY I) and glyoxalase II (GLY II) enzymes, is the major pathway for detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG) into D-lactate involving reduced glutathione (GSH).

New
In Nat Prod Commun, Sep 2015
GLO I catalyzes the reaction to transform hemimercaptal, a compound formed from methylglyoxal (MG) and reduced glutathione, into S-D-lactoylglutathione, which is then converted to D-lactic acid by glyoxalase II.
