ID   1.1.1.78
DE   Methylglyoxal reductase (NADH-dependent).
AN   D-lactaldehyde dehydrogenase.
AN   Methylglyoxal reductase.
CA   (R)-lactaldehyde + NAD(+) = methylglyoxal + NADH.
CC   -!- This mammalian enzyme differs from the yeast enzyme, EC 1.1.1.283,
CC       in using NADH rather than NADPH as reductant.
CC   -!- It oxidizes HO-CH(2)-CHOH-CHO (glyceraldehyde) as well as CH(3)-CHOH-
