Disease

[ODBA_HUMAN] Defects in BCKDHA are a cause of maple syrup urine disease type IA (MSUD1A) [MIM:248600]. MSUD is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mental and physical retardation, feeding problems, and a maple syrup odor to the urine.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]} [ODBB_HUMAN] Defects in BCKDHB are the cause of maple syrup urine disease type IB (MSUD1B) [MIM:248600].

Function

[ODBA_HUMAN] The branched-chain alpha-keto dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of alpha-keto acids to acyl-CoA and CO(2). It contains multiple copies of three enzymatic components: branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase (E1), lipoamide acyltransferase (E2) and lipoamide dehydrogenase (E3).
