Gene: D2HGDH
Alternate names for this Gene: D2HGD
Gene Summary: This gene encodes D-2hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial enzyme belonging to the FAD-binding oxidoreductase/transferase type 4 family. This enzyme, which is most active in liver and kidney but also active in heart and brain, converts D-2-hydroxyglutarate to 2-ketoglutarate. Mutations in this gene are present in D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria, a rare recessive neurometabolic disorder causing developmental delay, epilepsy, hypotonia, and dysmorphic features.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2q37.3
Description of this Gene: D-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
