The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (alpha-KGD) complex is a multienzyme complex which localizes to the mitochondrial matrix and consists of three protein subunits: alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, also designated alpha-KGD, E1k or oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH); dihydrolipoyl succinyltransferase (E2kor DLST); and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3).
The alpha-KGD subunit of the alpha-KGD complex catalyzes the conversion of alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl-CoA and CO2, an essential reaction of the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
A definciency in alpha-KGD results in hypotonia, metabolic acidosis, hyperlactatemia immediately after birth, and neurologic deterioration resulting in death at about 30 months of age.
Low molar ratios of ketone bodies in plasma of neonates with congenital lactic acidosis are proposed indicators of tricarboxylic acid cycle dysfunction.
