ID   1.1.1.283
DE   Methylglyoxal reductase (NADPH-dependent).
AN   Lactaldehyde dehydrogenase (NADP(+)).
CA   Lactaldehyde + NADP(+) = methylglyoxal + NADPH.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae catalyzes the
CC       conversion of methylglyoxal into lactaldehyde; the reverse reaction
CC       has not been demonstrated.
CC   -!- It differs in coenzyme requirement from EC 1.1.1.78, which is found
CC       in mammals.
CC   -!- It also acts on phenylglyoxal and glyoxal.
