additional information | Homo sapiens | the GLX2 gene, which encodes glyoxalase II enzyme, is up-regulated by p63 and p73. Accordingly, a specific responsive element is found in intron 1 of the GLX2 gene, which can be activated and bound by p63 and p73. Upon overexpression, the cytosolic, but not the mitochondrial, GLX2 inhibits the apoptotic response of a cell to methylglyoxal, a by-product of glycolysis. Cells deficient in GLX2 are hypersensitive to methylglyoxal-induced apoptosis. A deficiency in GLX2 enhances the susceptibility of a cell to DNA damage-induced apoptosis in a p53-dependent manner | ? | - |
