Description

HAGHL encodes a protein that is similar to hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase (glyoxalase II), an enzyme involved in the detoxification of methylglyoxal, a cytotoxic byproduct of glycolysis. The protein contains a metallo-beta-lactamase domain and is predicted to function in glutathione metabolism. Expression is observed in multiple tissues, with highest levels in the kidney and liver.

Protein Summary

The HAGHL protein (UniProt Q6PMP8) is a 308-amino acid enzyme belonging to the metallo-beta-lactamase superfamily. It is predicted to catalyze the hydrolysis of S-D-lactoylglutathione to D-lactate and glutathione, similar to glyoxalase II. The protein is localized in the cytoplasm and cytosol, and its expression is highest in kidney and liver tissues.
