BCKDHB Proteins and Enzymes

Branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase is a multienzyme complex associated with the inner membrane of mitochondria, andfunctions in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids. The complex consists of multiple copies of 3 components:branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), lipoamide acyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3).This gene encodes the E1 beta subunit, and mutations therein have been associated with maple syrup urine disease(MSUD), type 1B, a disease ...
