Class I glutamine amidotransferase-like superfamily protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary
Encodes a glyoxalase with high activity towards glyoxal and methylglyoxal. It differs from its animal and bacterial homologs with respect to the configuration of its catalytic residues and the oligomeric property of the enzyme. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile.
TAIR Short Description
Class I glutamine amidotransferase-like superfamily protein
Possesses glyoxalase I activity. Catalyzes the conversion of hemimercaptal, formed from methylglyoxal and glutathione, to S-lactoylglutathione. May be involved in oxidative stress response.
