Superfamily 3.40.50.880
Functional Family Glutathione-independent glyoxalase HSP31

Enzyme Information

4.2.1.130
D-lactate dehydratase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q5AF03
(R)-lactate = methylglyoxal + H(2)O.
-!- The enzyme, described from the fungi Candida albicans and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, converts 2-oxopropanal to (R)-lactate in a single glutathione (GSH)-independent step. -!- The other known route for this conversion is the two-step GSH- dependent pathway catalyzed by EC 4.4.1.5 and EC 3.1.2.6.
