D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase family protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a hydroxypyruvate reductase that reduces HP to glycerate and shows even more activity with glyoxylate, a more upstream intermediate of the photorespiratory cycle. It is likely targeted to the chloroplast where it could provide a compensatory bypass for the reduction of HP and glyoxylate within this compartment. Together with HPPR2 and TAT1 involved in the biosynthesis of pHPL from tyrosine.
