Sucla2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable succinate-CoA ligase (ADP-forming) activity. Predicted to be involved in succinate metabolic process; succinyl-CoA metabolic process; and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Located in mitochondrion and myelin sheath. Part of succinate-CoA ligase complex (ADP-forming). Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 5. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 5. Orthologous to human SUCLA2 (succinate-CoA ligase ADP-forming subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Sucla2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
