Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable 2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in small molecule metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; heart; liver; telencephalon; and urinary system. Used to study L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria; L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria; cerebellar ataxia; hereditary spastic paraplegia; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to human L2HGDH (L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase).
