Antigen Description

This protein belongs to the aldehyde dehydrogenase family of proteins. This gene encodes a mitochondrial NAD(+)-dependent succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase. A deficiency of this enzyme, known as 4-hydroxybutyricaciduria, is a rare inborn error in the metabolism of the neurotransmitter 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA). In response to the defect, physiologic fluids from patients accumulate GHB, a compound with numerous neuromodulatory properties. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Function

protein homodimerization activity; succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity; succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity

Synonyms

ALDH5A1; aldehyde dehydrogenase 5 family, member A1; SSDH; SSADH; succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, mitochondrial; aldehyde dehydrogenase 5 family member A1; mitochondrial succinate semialdehyde dehydrogenase; NAD(+)-dependent succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase
