In enzymology, a Hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase (EC3.1.2.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Hence, this enzyme has two substrate, (R)-S-lactoylglutathione and water, and two products, glutathione and a 2-hydroxy carboxylate. With the common substrate methylglyoxal, the product is D-lactate.
