OGDH oxoglutarate dehydrogenase

Gene ID: 4967, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: E1k; E1o; KGD1; OGDC; AKGDH; OGDH2; OGDHD; OGDH-E1

Summary

This gene encodes one subunit of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. This complex catalyzes the overall conversion of 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) to succinyl-CoA and CO(2) during the Krebs cycle. The protein is located in the mitochondrial matrix and uses thiamine pyrophosphate as a cofactor. A congenital deficiency in 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase activity is believed to lead to hypotonia, metabolic acidosis, and hyperlactatemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
