In enzymology, a Hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (R)-S-lactoylglutathione + water
glutathione + a 2-hydroxy carboxylate
Hence, this enzyme has two substrate, (R)-S-lactoylglutathione and water, and two products, glutathione and a 2-hydroxy carboxylate. With the common substrate methylglyoxal, the product is D-lactate.[1]
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically the class of thioester lyases. This enzyme is commonly known as glyoxylase II. This enzyme participates in pyruvate metabolism.
