UniProtKB accession:  Q04432

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the conversion of methylglyoxal (MG) to D-lactate in a single glutathione (GSH)-independent step. May play a role in detoxifying endogenously produced glyoxals (PubMed:24302734). Involved in protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS) (PubMed:17395014). Important for viability in stationary phase. May negatively regulate TORC1 in response to nutrient limitation (PubMed:24706893).
