Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH)

Target
GCDH
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Oxidoreductase
01

Overview

Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of glutaryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA and carbon dioxide. This reaction is a key step in the catabolic pathway for the amino acids L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine, and L-tryptophan. Deficiency or dysfunction due to mutations in GCDH causes glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I), an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by accumulation of glutaric acid and related metabolites.
