Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human GCDH
Biochem/physiol Actions
GCDH belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family. It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of glutaryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA and CO(2) in the degradative pathway of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine, and L-tryptophan metabolism. It uses electron transfer flavoprotein as its electron acceptor. The enzyme exists in the mitochondrial matrix as a homotetramer of 45-kD subunits.The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family.

Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) is a mitochondrial enzyme that is involved in the degradation of tryptophan, lysine and hydroxylysine. Deficient enzyme activity leads to glutaric aciduria type-I (GA-I). This neurometabolic disease usually manifests with acute encephalopathic crises and striatal neuronal death
Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of glutaryl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (GCDH), with accumulation of neurotoxic metabolites, resulting in a complex movement disorder, irreversible brain damage, and premature death in untreated individuals.
Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-1) is an inborn error of metabolism with a severe neurological phenotype caused by the deficiency of glutaryl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (GCDH), the last enzyme of lysine catabolism. Current literature suggests that toxic catabolites in the brain
