oxoglutarate dehydrogenase L

Also known as: YOBELN

The protein functions as a component of the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, catalyzing the conversion of 2-oxoglutarate to succinyl-CoA in the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid cycle. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal recessive succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency, a metabolic disorder affecting the central nervous system. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variation (LOEUF 0.686), suggesting that complete loss of function may be compatible with survival in the recessive state.

The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
