Summary: Predicted to enable glyoxalase III activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to aldehyde; glyoxal metabolic process; and monocarboxylic acid biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including excretory cell; nervous system; pharynx; rectum; and reproductive system. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease; Parkinson's disease 7; Parkinsonism; cerebral infarction; and middle cerebral artery infarction. Orthologous to human PARK7 (Parkinsonism associated deglycase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
