Summary
This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric enzyme succinate coenzyme A ligase. This enzyme is targeted to the mitochondria and catalyzes the conversion of succinyl CoA and ADP or GDP to succinate and ATP or GTP. Mutations in this gene are the cause of the metabolic disorder fatal infantile lactic acidosis and mitochondrial DNA depletion. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]

Comments

Comment Type Description
Catalytic Activity ATP + succinate + CoA = ADP + phosphate + succinyl-CoA.
Catalytic Activity GTP + succinate + CoA = GDP + phosphate + succinyl-CoA.
Disease Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 9 (MTDPS9) [MIM
Function Catalyzes the ATP- or GTP-dependent ligation of succinate and CoA to form succinyl-CoA. The nature of the beta subunit determines the nucleotide specificity (By similarity).
Pathway Carbohydrate metabolism; tricarboxylic acid cycle.
