Gene information for Aass (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID30956
Official gene symbolAass
Full nameaminoadipate-semialdehyde synthase
AliasesLKR,LKR/SDH,LOR,LOR/SDH,Lorsdh,SDH
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a bifunctional mitochondrial protein that catalyzes the first two steps in the lysine degradation pathway. The N-terminus contains lysine-ketoglutarate reductase activity and converts lysine to saccharopine, whereas the C-terminus contains saccharopine dehydrogenase activity and converts saccharopine to alpha-aminoadipate semialdehyde. Mutations in a human gene encoding a highly similar protein are associated with familial hyperlysinemia. [provided by RefSeq]
