Targets

General Function:
Ubiquinone binding
Specific Function:
Membrane-anchoring subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) that is involved in complex II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and is responsible for transferring electrons from succinate to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q).
Gene Name:
SDHD
Uniprot ID:
O14521
Molecular Weight:
17042.82 Da
Mechanism of Action:
3-Nitropropionic acid is a suicide inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase, an enzyme required for the activity of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as well as mitochondrial respiratory complex II of the electron transport chain. It forms a covalent adduct with the side chain of Arg297, inactivating the succinate dehydrogenase. This affects neurons by leading to NMDA-receptor activation, excessive calcium influx, and formation of reactive oxygen species, eventually causing neuronal cell death.
