0 ImagesSynonyms: S-Lactylglutathione; (R)-S-LactoylglutathioneS-D-Lactoylglutathione (S-Lactylglutathione; (R)-S-Lactoylglutathione) is a multifunctional metabolic intermediate of the glyoxalase system. S-D-Lactoylglutathione activates K+ efflux in bacteria by displacing inhibitory glutathione from KefGB channels, thereby acidifying the cytoplasm. In eukaryotic cells, S-D-Lactoylglutathione mediates S-glutathionylation as a substrate of glyoxalase 2. S-D-Lactoylglutathione serves as a sensitive metabolic biomarker for neodymium nitrate neurotoxicity; when used in combination with MSCs-exo, it upregulates glutathione levels, downregulates lactate dehydrogenase and Glo2 levels, and inhibits cellular inflammatory responses and pyroptosis. S-D-Lactoylglutathione can be used in research related to prostate cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, sepsis-associated encephalopathy, and neurotoxicity.
