General description
Glyoxalase I (GLO-1), a lactoylglutathione lyase also known as methylglyoxalase, aldoketomutase, ketone-aldehyde mutase, and (R)-S-lactoylglutathione methylglyoxal-lyase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of hemithioacetal adducts which are formed in spontaneous reactions between glutathionyl groups and aldehydes. The primary physiological function of glyoxalase I is the detoxification of methyglyoxal, a reactive 2-oxoaldehyde that is cytostatic at low concentrations and cytotoxic at millimolar concentrations. Glyoxalase I is a target for the development of pharmaceuticals against bacteria, protozoans, and cancer.
Application
Glyoxalase I Assay Kit has been used to estimate the glyoxalase I activity in plasma samples.
Features and Benefits
Compatible with high-throughput handling systems.
Suitability
Suitable for the detection of Glyoxalase I activity in enzyme preparations and biological samples. Suitable for testing the effects of compounds on Glyoxalase I activity.
Principle
The Glyoxalase I Activity Assay kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring GLO-1 activity in a variety of samples such as enzyme preparations or biological samples. In this assay, the GLO-1-mediated production of S-lactoylglutathione is measured by monitoring the change in absorbance at 240 nm. One unit of Glyoxalase I is the amount of enzyme that will convert 1.0 μmole of S-lactoylglutathione from methylglyoxal and reduced glutathione per minute at pH 6.6 and 25 °C.
