Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Glutaryl-CoA_dehydrogenase".
Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase is an enzyme acting upon glutaryl-coenzyme A, creating crotonyl-coenzyme A.
It plays a role in the metabolism of lysine, hydroxylysine and tryptophan.
A defect in this enzyme is associated with neurological condition glutaric acidemia type 1, which is often fatal[1].
