Protein
L-2-hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Catalyzes the oxidation of (S)-2-hydroxyglutarate to 2-oxoglutarate. Is specific for the (S) enantiomer and possesses very poor activity toward (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate. Has no activity toward related 2-hydroxy acids, such as glycolate, L-lactate or D-lactate.
Similarity
Belongs to the L2HGDH family.
