DESCRIPTION

Also known as MTNB_HUMAN, APIP. Catalyzes the dehydration of methylthioribulose-1-phosphate (MTRu-1-P) into 2, 3-diketo-5-methylthiopentyl-1-phosphate (DK-MTP-1-P). Functions in the methionine salvage pathway, which plays a key role in cancer, apoptosis, microbial proliferation and inflammation. May inhibit the CASP1-related inflammatory response (pyroptosis), the CASP9-dependent apoptotic pathway and the cytochrome c-dependent and APAF1-mediated cell death. Homotetramer (PubMed:24367089). Interacts with APAF1 (PubMed:15262985). May interact with CASP1 (PubMed:22837397).
