Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Predicted to contribute to 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate dehydrogenase (2-methylpropanoyl-transferring) activity and branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in branched-chain amino acid catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in maple syrup urine disease. Orthologous to human BCKDHA (branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1 subunit alpha).
