| Description | This entry represents a group of bacterial proteins, including L-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate reductase from Escherichia coli (GAP reductase), which catalyses the stereospecific, NADPH-dependent reduction of L-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (L-GAP). Its physiological role is the detoxification of L-GAP, which may be formed by non-enzymatic racemisation of GAP. Also involved in the stress response as a methylglyoxal reductase which converts the toxic metabolite methylglyoxal to acetol in vitro and in vivo [ , , ]. | Name | L-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate reductase |
| Short Name | GAP_reductase | Type | Family |
