Glyoxalase 3

UniProtKB accession:  Q5AF03

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the conversion of methylglyoxal (MG) to D-lactate in a single glutathione (GSH)-independent step. Selective for MG, does not use glyoxal as substrate. Plays a role in detoxifying endogenously produced MG, particularly when glycerol is the principal carbon source (PubMed:24302734). Important for viability in stationary phase (By similarity).
