General description
Methylglyoxal is a toxic endogenous by-product of glycolysis. 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.
Application
Methylglyoxal solution is used in cytotoxic studies.
