Dlst Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable dihydrolipoyllysine-residue succinyltransferase activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in 2-oxoglutarate metabolic process; nucleoside phosphate metabolic process; and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Located in mitochondrion and myelin sheath. Part of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; metanephros; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and paraganglioma. Orthologous to human DLST (dihydrolipoamide S-succinyltransferase).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Dlst often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
