Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including NAD binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Acts upstream of or within carboxylic acid metabolic process and post-embryonic development. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase deficiency. Orthologous to human ALDH5A1 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 5 family member A1).
