Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in small molecule metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; liver; telencephalon; and urinary system. Used to study L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria; L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria; cerebellar ataxia; hereditary spastic paraplegia; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to human L2HGDH (L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic allele exhibit increased levels of lysine and arginine associated with decreases in saccharopine, glutamine, and glutamate in adult brains, neurobehavioral deficits, and brain spongiosis with vacuolar lesions mostly affecting oligodendrocytes and myelin sheaths.
