basic FUNCTION
| converting alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl coenzyme A in the Krebs cycle |
|
may thus participate in brain-specific control of 2-oxoglutarate distribution between energy production and synthesis of the neurotransmitter glutamate  |
|
is an important anti-proliferative gene in cervical cancer  |
|
OGDH and OGDHL play an essential part in a rate-limiting enzymatic reaction for the conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG) to succinyl-CoA  |
|
potential involvement of OGDHL in brain development and function  |
|
both OGDHL and OGDH are required for mitochondrial metabolism in human neurons  |
