Identification
NameNADPH-dependent aldose reductase GRE3
Synonyms
  • Genes de respuesta a estres protein 3
  • NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase GRE3
  • NADPH-dependent methylglyoxal reductase GRE3
  • Xylose reductase
Gene NameGRE3
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific FunctionReduces the cytotoxic compound methylglyoxal (MG) to (R)-lactaldehyde similar to GRE2. MG is synthesized via a bypath of glycolysis from dihydroxyacetone phosphate and is believed to play a role in cell cycle regulation and stress adaptation. In pentose-fermenting yeasts, aldose reductase catalyzes the reduction of xylose into xylitol. The purified enzyme catalyzes this reaction, but the inability of S.cerevisiae to grow on xylose as sole carbon source indicates that the physiological function is more likely methylglyoxal reduction
