Application

?-Ketoglutarate Dehydrogenase from the porcine heart has been used:to study the reversal of nitration by glutathione (GSH) in peroxynitrite-treated cellsto measure its activity by Spectramax M5 microplate spectrofluorimeter using heart mitochondriaas a positive control to evaluate its activity in by Spectramax GEMINI EM fluorescence microplate reader using mice neurons

Biochem/physiol Actions

?-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (?-KGDH) is a key enzyme of bioenergetic processes and a controlling unit of metabolic flux through the Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. It catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of ?-ketoglutarate (KG) to succinyl-CoA by releasing reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). It is the rate-limiting reaction of the TCA cycle. This reaction contributes to the electrons of the respiratory chain and requires thiamine pyrophosphate as a cofactor. The reduction of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is observed to determine its reaction rate. ?-KGDH from porcine has an optimum pH range of 6.6–7.4. This enzyme is inhibited by oxidative stress and results in a metabolic deficiency. However, ?-KGDH is also known to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) leading to oxidative stress. Defective or limited levels of ?-KGDH cause several neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer?s disease.

General description

?-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (?-KGDH) is a multienzyme complex localized to the mitochondria. This integrated enzyme is made up of many units of thiamine pyrophosphate-dependent dehydrogenase (E1), dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3), and dihydrolipoamide succinyl transferase (E2).
