ENZYME entry: EC 1.1.1.283

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.1.1.283
Accepted Name
methylglyoxal reductase (NADPH)
Alternative Name(s)
lactaldehyde dehydrogenase (NADP(+))
methylglyoxal reductase (NADPH-dependent)
Reaction catalysed
(S)-lactaldehyde + NADP(+) = methylglyoxal + NADPH + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae catalyzes the reduction of a keto group in a number of compounds, forming enantiopure products.
  • Among the substrates are methylglyoxal (which is reduced to (S)- lactaldehyde), 3-methylbutanal, hexane-2,5-dione and 3-chloro-1- phenylpropan-1-one.
  • The enzyme differs from EC 1.1.1.78 which is found in mammals, by its cosubstrate requirement, reaction direction, and enantiomeric preference.
