L2HGDH L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase

Gene ID: 79944, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: L2HGA; C14orf160

Summary

This gene encodes L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase, a FAD-dependent enzyme that oxidizes L-2-hydroxyglutarate to alpha-ketoglutarate in a variety of mammalian tissues. Mutations in this gene cause L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, a rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder resulting in moderate to severe cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
