SARDH sarcosine dehydrogenase

Gene ID: 1757, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SAR; SDH; SARD; BPR-2; DMGDHL1

Summary

This gene encodes an enzyme localized to the mitochondrial matrix which catalyzes the oxidative demethylation of sarcosine. This enzyme is distinct from another mitochondrial matrix enzyme, dimethylglycine dehydrogenase, which catalyzes a reaction resulting in the formation of sarcosine. Mutations in this gene are associated with sarcosinemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
