Gene information for GCDH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2639
Official gene symbolGCDH
Full nameglutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase
Aliases,ACAD5,GCD,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of glutaryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA and CO(2) in the degradative pathway of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine, and L-tryptophan metabolism. It uses electron transfer flavoprotein as its electron acceptor. The enzyme exists in the mitochondrial matrix as a homotetramer of 45-kD subunits. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
