Rabbit Anti-DLDD/Lipoamide Dehydrogenase/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene encodes a member of the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. The encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. In homodimeric form, the encoded protein functions as a dehydrogenase and is found in several multi-enzyme complexes that regulate energy metabolism. However, as a monomer, this protein can function as a protease. Mutations in this gene have been identified in patients with E3-deficient maple syrup urine disease and lipoamide dehydrogenase deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
Function:
Lipoamide dehydrogenase is a component of the glycine cleavage system as well as of the alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complexes. Involved in the hyperactivation of spermatazoa during capacitation and in the spermatazoal acrosome reaction.
Subcellular Location:
Mitochondrion matrix.
Post-translational modifications:
Tyrosine phosphorylated.
DISEASE:
Note=Defects in DLD are involved in the development of congenital infantile lactic acidosis.
Defects in DLD are a cause of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) [MIM:248600].
MSUD is characterized by mental and physical retardation, feeding problems and a maple syrup odor to the urine. The keto acids of the branched-chain amino acids are present in the urine, resulting from a block in oxidative decarboxylation.
Similarity:
Belongs to the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family.
