S-Lactoylglutathione
S-Lactoylglutathione is a substrate of lactoylglutathione lyase [EC 4.4.1.5] in pyruvate metabolism (KEGG). Another enzyme, glyoxalase I, synthesizes this compound by converting methylglyoxal and reduced glutathione to S-lactoylglutathione. S-D-lactoylglutathione can be hydrolysed by thiolesterases to reduced glutathione and D-lactate but also converted to N-D-lactoylcysteinylglycine and N-D-lactoylcysteine by gamma-glutamyl transferase and dipeptidase (PMID: 8632674). S-lactoylglutathione has also been shown to modulate microtubule assembly (PMID: 690442). [HMDB]. S-Lactoylglutathione is found in many foods, some of which are blackcurrant, oat, pomegranate, and brussel sprouts.
