| Official Name |
|---|
| Methylglyoxal reductase (NADH-dependent).
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| D-lactaldehyde dehydrogenase. |
| Methylglyoxal reductase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| (R)-lactaldehyde + NAD(+) <=> methylglyoxal + NADH |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- This mammalian enzyme differs from the yeast enzyme, EC 1.1.1.283,
in using NADH rather than NADPH as reductant.
- It oxidizes HO-CH(2)-CHOH-CHO (glyceraldehyde) as well as CH(3)-CHOH-
CHO (lactaldehyde).
