Function
LGUL_MOUSE 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 (By similarity).
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Old drugs new tricks: Zopolrestat, an aldose reductase inhibitor developed by Pfizer for the treatment of diabetic complications, is a potent competition inhibitor of human glyoxalase I (GLOI) in vitro. Crystal structures of GLOI in complex with zopolrestat and indomethacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and moderate inhibitor of GLOI, provide a structural basis for the development of novel GLOI inhibitors with excellent pharmacokinetics profiles.
