Predicted to enable hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in methylglyoxal catabolic process to D-lactate via S-lactoyl-glutathione. Predicted to act upstream of or within modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; neuromuscular process controlling posture; and regulation of dopamine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in paroxysmal nonkinesigenic dyskinesia 1. Orthologous to human PNKD (PNKD metallo-beta-lactamase domain containing). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
