Succinate--CoA ligase [ADP/GDP-forming] subunit alpha, mitochondrial

UniProtKB accession:  P53597

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Succinyl-CoA synthetase functions in the citric acid cycle (TCA), coupling the hydrolysis of succinyl-CoA to the synthesis of either ATP or GTP and thus represents the only step of substrate-level phosphorylation in the TCA. The alpha subunit of the enzyme binds the substrates coenzyme A and phosphate, while succinate binding and specificity for either ATP or GTP is provided by different beta subunits.
