ENZYME entry: EC 1.2.7.3

Accepted Name
2-oxoglutarate synthase.
Alternative Name(s)
2-ketoglutarate ferredoxin oxidoreductase.
2-oxoglutarate ferredoxin oxidoreductase.
Alpha-ketoglutarate synthase.
Alpha-ketoglutarate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase.
KGOR.
Reaction catalysed
2-oxoglutarate + CoA + 2 oxidized ferredoxin <=> succinyl-CoA + CO(2) + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H(+)
Cofactor(s)
Iron-sulfur; Thiamine diphosphate.
Comment(s)
  • Highly specific for 2-oxoglutarate.
  • This enzyme is a member of the 2-oxoacid oxidoreductases, a family of enzymes that oxidatively decarboxylate different 2-oxoacids to form their CoA derivatives, and are differentiated based on their substrate specificity.
  • For examples of other members of this family, see EC 1.2.7.1 and EC 1.2.7.7.
  • Formerly EC 1.2.7.9.
