Hydroxyacyl Glutathione Hydrolase, aa1-260, Recombinant, Human (Hydroxyacylglutathione Hydrolase, HA

HAGH is a member of the glyoxalase family and a thiolesterase which hydrolyses S-lactoyl-glutathione to reduced glutathione and D-lactate. This protein is a detoxifying enzyme of glycolysis byproduct methylglyoxal and a target of p63 and p73 and serves as a pro-survival factor of the p53 family. It exists only as a monomer and binds two zinc ions per subunit. Source: Recombinant corresponding to human HAGH, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, expressed in E. coli.
