General description

Methylglyoxal is a toxic endogenous by-product of glycolysis.[1] It is a reactive dicarbonyl compound that promotes non-enzymatic glycation of proteins to yield irreversible advanced glycated end products, leading to the cross-linking or degradation of proteins.[2]

Application

Methylglyoxal solution is used in cytotoxic studies.[1][3][2]
