From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase is an enzyme acting upon glutaryl-coenzyme A, creating crotonyl-coenzyme A.
It plays a role in the metabolism of lysine, hydroxylysine and tryptophan.
[edit] Pathology
A defect in this enzyme is associated with neurological condition glutaric acidemia type 1, which is often fatal[1].
