Term Name: | methylglyoxal catabolic process to D-lactate via S-lactoyl-glutathione |
---|---|
Synonyms: | D-lactate biosynthesis from methylglyoxal, D-lactate biosynthetic process from methylglyoxal, glyoxalase system, methylglyoxal breakdown to D-lactate, methylglyoxal catabolism to D-lactate via S-lactoyl-glutathione, methylglyoxal degradation to D-lactate, methylglyoxal detoxification |
Definition: | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of methylglyoxal, CH3-CO-CHO, into D-lactate via the intermediate S-lactoyl-glutathione. Glutathione is used in the first step of the pathway and then regenerated in the second step. |
