Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of dicarbonyls (PubMed:20188740). Exhibits narrow substrate specificity, with preferential activity against the dicarbonyl substrates phenylglyoxal and methylglyoxal (PubMed:20188740). Exhibits weak activity with ethyl-2-methyl acetoacetate (PubMed:20188740). Cannot use NADH (PubMed:20188740). May play an important role in the detoxification of methylglyoxal (PubMed:20188740).
