Preparation and Storage

Background: Glyoxalase II

Glyoxalase II (GLO2; also hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase 2 and Glx II) is a monomeric, cytosolic 29 kDa member of the Glyoxylase II family, metallo-beta -lactamase superfamily of enzymes. It is expressed in liver and kidney, and converts GLO1-generated lactoylglutathione into lactate and GSH. It is up‑regulated by p63 and p73, and thus serves as a p53-associated survival factor. Human GLO2 is 260 amino acids (aa) in length. It binds two atoms of Zn and contains one substrate binding region (aa 143‑145 plus 249‑252). The 29 kDa form represents 80‑90% of cellular GLO2. There is also a 32‑33 kDa, 308 aa mitochondrial isoform that arises via the use of an alternative start site. Its function is unclear, given that mitochondria do not contain GLO1. There is an additional potential isoform that shows an insertion of nine aa after Thr167. Human GLO2 shares approximately 90% aa identity with mouse GLO2.
