Gene information for OGDH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4967
Official gene symbolOGDH
Full nameoxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate) dehydrogenase (lipoamide)
Aliases,AKGDH,E1k,OGDC,
Gene summaryThis 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.
