Abstract excerpt
The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDC) catalyses the decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate into succinyl-coenzyme A in the Krebs cycle. This enzymatic complex is made up of three subunits (E1, encoded by PDHA1; E2, encoded by DLST; and E3, encoded by DLD). The E3 subunit is common to two other enzymatic complexes, namely pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) and branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase...
