Glyoxylase system

Glutathione is required as a cofactor by two enzymes in aldehyde metabolism the glyoxylase system ... [Pg.835]

The glyoxylase system consists of two enzymes, glyoxylase I and glyoxylase II and GSH. Although these enzymes are widely distributed in many prokaryotic and eukaryotic species, their physiological function is poorly understood. It is generally... [Pg.170]

Szent-Gy6rgyi has proposed that the glyoxylase system may be important in the control of cell division. ... [Pg.75]

The second enzyme of the glyoxylase system, the thioesterase, is specific for thioesters of glutathione and its analogues. Thioester hydrolysis and transacylation will be discussed in subsequent sections. [Pg.75]

The best established functional role for glutathione is as a cofactor in certain enzymatic processes. The most extensively studied example is the glyoxylase system. This catalyses an internal oxidation-reduction, or dismutation, of certain a-keto aldehydes to a-hydroxy adds. [Pg.319]
