Dld - dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase

This gene encodes a member of the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. A similar protein in human, mouse, and pig has been identified as a moonlighting protein based on its ability to perform mechanistically distinct functions. In homodimeric form, the protein functions as a dehydrogenase and is found in several multi-enzyme complexes that regulate energy metabolism. However, as a monomer, the protein can function as a protease. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
