Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 5.1.1)
Enables hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in carbohydrate metabolic process and glutathione biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within methylglyoxal catabolic process to D-lactate via S-lactoyl-glutathione. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HAGH (hydroxyacylglutathione hydrolase).
