Succinate--CoA ligase [ADP-forming] subunit alpha

UniProtKB accession:  Q9YD40

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 nucleotide specificity is provided by the beta subunit.
