Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable GDP binding activity; succinate-CoA ligase (ADP-forming) activity; and succinate-CoA ligase (GDP-forming) activity. Predicted to be involved in succinate metabolic process; succinyl-CoA metabolic process; and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 9. Orthologous to human SUCLG1 (succinate-CoA ligase GDP/ADP-forming subunit alpha).
