Protein
Probable glutathione-independent glyoxalase hsp3103
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
Function
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. Involved in protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Similarity
Belongs to the peptidase C56 family. HSP31-like subfamily.
