GRHPR encodes glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase, a cytosolic NADPH-dependent D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase (D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family) that is most abundantly expressed in the liver. It reduces glyoxylate to glycolate (EC 1.1.1.79) and hydroxypyruvate to D-glycerate (EC 1.1.1.81), and can oxidize D-glycerate back to hydroxypyruvate; it prefers glyoxylate and hydroxypyruvate over pyruvate. By reducing glyoxylate to glycolate it limits the oxidation of glyoxylate to oxalate, providing a key route for cytosolic glyoxylate detoxification and constraining endogenous oxalate synthesis. The enzyme is a homodimer with a Rossmann NAD(P)-binding fold. Loss-of-function variants cause primary hyperoxaluria type 2 (PH2), characterized by elevated urinary excretion of oxalate and L-glycerate, calcium-oxalate nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, and progressive renal disease.

description: GRHPR encodes glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase, a cytosolic
NADPH-dependent D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase (D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase
family) that is most abundantly expressed in the liver. It reduces glyoxylate to
glycolate (EC 1.1.1.79) and hydroxypyruvate to D-glycerate (EC 1.1.1.81), and can
oxidize D-glycerate back to hydroxypyruvate; it prefers glyoxylate and hydroxypyruvate
over pyruvate. By reducing glyoxylate to glycolate it limits the oxidation of glyoxylate
to oxalate, providing a key route for cytosolic glyoxylate detoxification and
constraining endogenous oxalate synthesis. The enzyme is a homodimer with a Rossmann
NAD(P)-binding fold. Loss-of-function variants cause primary hyperoxaluria type 2
(PH2), characterized by elevated urinary excretion of oxalate and L-glycerate,
calcium-oxalate nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, and progressive renal disease.

title: Glyoxalate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase interacts with the sodium-dependent
vitamin C transporter-1 to regulate cellular vitamin C homeostasis.
findings:
- statement: GRHPR physically interacts with the sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter
SLC23A1 (hSVCT1), and this interaction modulates ascorbate uptake, coupling
vitamin C transport to control of cellular oxalate production.
supporting_text: we identify the enzyme human glyoxalate reductase/hydroxypyruvate
reductase (hGR/HPR) as an hSVCT1 associated protein by yeast two-hybrid (Y2H)
screening of a human liver cDNA library
reference_review:
relevance: MEDIUM
correctness: VERIFIED
review_notes: Abstract-only cache; source of the SLC23A1 IPI. Interaction is real
but the GO term used (protein binding) is uninformative.

title: glyoxylate + NADPH + H+ => glycolate + NADP+
findings:
- statement: Reactome describes GRHPR catalyzing the NADPH-dependent reduction of
glyoxylate to glycolate; it labels the enzyme peroxisomal and links its mutations
to primary hyperoxaluria type II.
supporting_text: Peroxisomal GRHPR catalyzes the reaction of glyoxylate and NADPH
+ H+ to form glycolate and NADP+.
reference_review:
relevance: HIGH
correctness: VERIFIED
review_notes: Reactome reaction for the core glyoxylate reductase step. Title left
exactly as fetched. Peroxisomal localization claim is disputed (enzyme is mainly
cytosolic).

title: UniProt entry GRHPR_HUMAN (Q9UBQ7)
findings:
- statement: UniProt records GRHPR as a hydroxypyruvate reductase, glyoxylate reductase
and D-glycerate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.79, EC 1.1.1.81), a homodimer of the
D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family, most abundant in liver,
whose deficiency causes primary hyperoxaluria type 2.
supporting_text: hydroxypyruvate to D-glycerate, glyoxylate to glycolate

activities, subunit, family, tissue specificity, and disease.
