Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase activity. Involved in acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process from pyruvate. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gastrulation; mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone; and sperm capacitation. Located in acrosomal matrix; cilium; and mitochondrion. Part of acetyltransferase complex; oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex; and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in maple syrup urine disease. Orthologous to human DLD (dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a targeted null mutation exhibit a developmental delay at 7.5 days postcoitum and are resorbed by 9.5 days postcoitum. [provided by MGI curators] |
