Succinate--CoA ligase [ADP-forming] subunit beta, mitochondrial

UniProtKB accession:  Q9P2R7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  ATP-specific succinyl-CoA synthetase functions in the citric acid cycle (TCA), coupling the hydrolysis of succinyl-CoA to the synthesis of ATP and thus represents the only step of substrate-level phosphorylation in the TCA (PubMed:15877282). The beta subunit provides nucleotide specificity of the enzyme and binds the substrate succinate, while the binding sites for coenzyme A and phosphate are found in the alpha subunit (By similarity).
