Glyoxalase II, a Detoxifying Enzyme of Glycolysis Byproduct Methylglyoxal and a Target of p63 and p73, Is a Pro-survival Factor of the p53 Family

Abstract excerpt

The p53 family proteins are transcription factors and have both common and distinct functions. p53 is a classic tumor suppressor, whereas p63 and p73 have fundamental functions in development. To gain an insight into the functional diversities among the p53 family, target genes specifically regulated by p63 and p73 were examined. Here, we found that the GLX2 gene, which encodes glyoxalase II enzyme, is...
