Lactaldehyde is an intermediate in the methylglyoxal metabolic pathway. Methylglyoxal is converted to D-lactaldehyde by glycerol dehydrogenase (gldA). Lactaldehyde is then oxidized to lactic acid by aldehyde dehydrogenase. [cite journal |author=Huang PC, Miller ON |title=The metabolism of lactaldehyde|journal=J. Biol.
