Mitochondrial Dehydrogenases (N/A)

Mitochondrial dehydrogenases are a group of enzymes located within the mitochondria that play essential roles in cellular metabolism, particularly in energy production and redox balance. These enzymes catalyze oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, often involving the transfer of electrons from substrates to cofactors such as NAD+ or FAD, which are then used in the mitochondrial electron transport chain to generate ATP. Dysfunction due to genetic mutations or acquired damage can lead to metabolic diseases including neurodegenerative disorders due to impaired energy supply or increased reactive oxygen species generation.
